For the past few years, I've chosen a Word of the Year instead of making New Year's Resolutions. The only difference is that now I've decided not to share the word until the end of the year. It's easy to share intentions, it's harder to do the actual work involved in meeting those intentions. I read an article several months ago that mentioned that people who keep their goals/resolutions to themselves while tending to them daily through action/prayer/meditation meet them with greater success. The minute they are shared with others, they lose their "punch"...psychologically speaking, once the goal is verbalized or written and made public, the brain registers the task as completed. I wish I had saved the article so I could give credit where credit is due.
My word for 2011 was illuminate. My goal was to live each day to the best of my ability by 1 Corinthians 13.
Happy New Year! I know it my heart that 2012 will be a year full of blessings. Never, ever, ever give up!
Listen and Enjoy
I'm trying to pick my word for this year. I tried last year and never could decide on a word. Why, oh why is it so hard for me to pick a word? Maybe I should pick vascilate :) I love your blog and everything you are able to accomplish. Blessings for the new year.
