Choice Words for the New Year

Fearless.  Bold.  Enthusiasm.  Confidence.  Change.  Persevere.  Focus.  Believe.  

Those are my power words for the year.  I am tempted to get them printed up on t-shirts so I can wear them throughout the week to remind me of the promises I have made to myself.  All of my key words fit together and work in unison.  If I can stick with these words and keep them in my mind and heart every day, it's going to be an awesome year!! 

FEARLESS - I am going to take more chances and not let fear prevent me from trying new things.  Fear is such a paralyzing emotion and I refuse to let it hinder me this year.  Nothing is gained if we live in fear.  The more we live in fear, the less living we do and I don't want that for myself (or you!).

BOLD - I'm gonna do it up and do it big!  The plans I have for myself include some pretty big projects and ideas.  I don't plan on shrinking from the boldness of my dreams.  I'm going to put it all out there for the world to see and know that I gave my best.

ENTHUSIASM - Zest for life makes us happier and in 2012 I want to be more enthusiastic about the things I do or that I'm asked to do.  I want to share my enthusiasm with others to help motivate and encourage them.  I will approach everything with an open heart and excitement.

CONFIDENCE - Believing in myself was never a problem until the last few years.  I have allowed my self esteem to be torn down but no more!!  I am fabulous and can do anything I want. I know that and I'm gonna show it!

CHANGE - For me, 2012 is going to be about risk taking and change.  I usually avoid change because I like what is comfortable and familiar.  A lack of change leads to stagnation and, let's face it, who wants to lead a stagnant life?  I sure don't!  I am going to be better about being flexible and embracing change.  Change breeds growth of character and spirit and I want that for myself.  

PERSEVERE - Some of my goals for myself are pretty lofty (refer to "bold") and may take longer to achieve than I would like but I want to push through any difficulties.  I hope to leap frog over any obstacles and squash any discouraging thoughts.  My goals are too important to let negativity squelch them.

FOCUS - The last thing I want is to become distracted by other things this year.  I plan to remind myself daily of my goals so that I don't lose sight of them.  Focusing will help me get things done.  My focus is also going to be on helping those in need. 

BELIEVE - Believing in myself and those that I love is what this year is going to be about.  If we believe, we can do anything.  There will be no room for doubters or self-doubt in my little world anymore.  

What words will inspire or motivate you this year?  Best wishes for a FABULOUS New Year!!
