Three Little Words for 2016
Every year I tell myself I’m going to do all the usually things we do at the beginning of the new year. I’m going to lose weight, declutter my house, and set a goal to accomplish something.
Then I pick a word. One word to become the theme of my year. One word that will keep me motivated and help me to accomplish said things above. For the past few years that word hasn’t changed and maybe that’s why I haven’t moved forward in accomplishing my goals at the speed I would have liked. Or maybe I didn’t choose the right word.
This year, with a little inspiration from Chris Brogan, I’ve decided to pick three.
Yep, three little words that will describe the kind of year I plan to have. Three words that will inspire and give me hope as I go forward into what this year has lying in wait for me.
Those words are:
Pretty strange words right?
1. Reinvest – I will reinvest in my efforts in all areas of my life that matter to me. This means prioritizing and scrapping more things off my life’s plate that are taking up room to spending time invest in my family, my writing, and take better care of my well being.
2. Untangle – I am no longer going to allow fear and criticism to get in the way of going forward in my life. I will start taking control of my ADHD life and focus on the few things I do well instead of lots of things and hardly succeeding in them. I want shed the things holding me back from having a clear and simple perspective in my personal and business life. This past year has shown me there really isn’t enough of me to go around.
3. Do – It means more than work. It’s a command to follow through. If I’m doing then I’m trying. If I’m trying then I’m moving forward. Failure look out, I’m still going to plow right through and get things done. To not do anything. To not try and fail. Well… that’s not who I want to be. No more day dreaming or planning out on paper or sketches of what is to come. To do is to make it happen.
2016 is going to happen.
I’m looking forward to it, how about you?
