I spent yesterday evening looking back on 2015, literally gone in a flash this year, and felt grateful for so many wonderful things that came my way..
Opportunity to Self-Publish my e-book
Opportunity to move abroad and explore a new city, new culture and embrace new beginnings.
Opportunity to appreciate time. Time spent at home, without a regular 9-5 job, struggling to find discipline in me.
Opportunity to Travel.
Opportunity to fuel my entrepreneurial passion.
Opportunity to write, interact with fellow authors and also host a book event.
Opportunity to understand relationships better. Relationships that truly matter.
Opportunity to re-define my blogging goals and with the help of a wonderful community and blog buddies, stay on track and blog regularly.
All through this year, one word has guided my actions, behaviours and choices. When in doubt, I took a deep breath and let out the word 'Embrace' and grasped on to what life had to offer me, embracing the challenges, the tears, the love, the laughter....Embracing the journey.
One word has the power to change your life. It truly does. One word that defines who you want to be and how you want to live. One word that you can live with everyday for a year. It changes you. Holding on to 'Embrace' sure has changed me this year, all for the good.
As I usher in 2016, I have decided my word for the year to be Focus.
I have no idea what the new year will bring, but I'll stay Focused to the goals I've set for myself and engage in them with intention and commitment.
I am a person with many interests and while that is good I often find myself saying yes to multiple projects at a time and then not being able to focus on them with dogged determination.
So this year I want to Focus. Really make it happen, one goal at a time.
What about you? How are you ushering in the new year, with what goals, what word?
