This year, I need a more active word. I am looking to challenge myself more within my life, my career, my relationships and my faith. I want this year to be a year of goal setting and happiness. I thought about a lot of words like {Joy} (because it is my favorite word), {Peace} and {Appreciate}, but they were a bit too passive for the place I am in my life. I wrote down some others to think about over the last week including {Present}, {Better} and {Driven}. These all have a similar meaning to me. I want to be more present and driven, while becoming a better me. I want to be a better and more thoughtful friend and wife, I want to push myself to be more driven in my career and more involved in the community, I want to find more joy and appreciation through my faith, all while keeping my balance from last year and taking time for myself to recharge and be the best version of myself I can be.
The word I felt most drawn to was {THRIVE}. 2015 is my year to thrive. I want to thrive personally, professionally & spiritually. I want to approach this year with energy and drive. I want to be decisive and purposeful with my time and efforts and look back at the end of the year and know that I grew and challenged myself to thrive!
