I admit I have been spending months thinking about my word of the
year. Every time I thought of the word, engage, I thought, this is such a
great word, the best word. How will I ever think of a better word?
And yet I have come across a word that I feel is to be a fantastic word
for me this year. This word has many meanings. They don't all apply
but it works for me. It is going to keep me FOCUSED. It is going to
keep me DEDICATED. It is going to keep me BRAVE.
I have incredibly big goals this year. Scary big. The
good kind of scary big. I feel as though this is a turning point year and
I'm ready to make a huge leap. It means I am going to be saying YES to a
lot of things that are really important to me and it is going to mean I have to
say NO so many things too.
I will admit this past year, specifically the past few months,
threw me for a loop. It made me wonder if I was on the right path.
If my goals for myself and my family aligned best with what I thought of
as my civic responsibility. Was I doing enough? Was I working for
the greater good? It made me throw myself into so many ventures that only
now am I going through all of my commitments and actually figuring out what I
can do. Which leads me to my word of the year.
to bind or obligate, as by pledge or assurance; pledge.
to entrust, especially for safekeeping; commend.
When I
set out for a goal I am going to COMMIT to that goal. I will finish
everything that I start this year. If I don't think I can or if I don't
want to finish it I won't start it. Like I said, I might be saying NO
more but it means that my YES will be stronger. My YES will mean I am
there 100 percent.
This
means I am going to be dedicated to my work and my business. I am
dedicated to watching it grow. I am dedicated to my customers and challengers.
I have serious goals and intentions for my business and I intend to see
these goals reached. I am committed to them.
Our
family is complete. This is the first year in a long time that I am sure
of the next step. There are 5 of us. We are whole.
We are ready to move forward into the future as a family. No more
waiting for one more. I am committed to both my role as a mother and committed to my role as a wife.
By
choosing this word I am not just planning on thinking of this word each morning but also thinking of questions that I will ask throughout the year. Can I commit to
this? By committing to this am I helping my pursuit to be my best self?
The best mother I can be. The best wife I can be. The best
coach I can be.
I am really excited to what can happen this year. Thank you so much for sharing your word of the year. I see big things for all of us this year!
Lets get to it!
