As I looked at my words from the past two years, it made me think of the reasons behind the words. In 2010 my word was a phrase, Consider This! It captured for me, the introspect of the year and what it would entail. Consider this, was to look at other peoples point of view. It really came from my dad, because it was a year of reflection on him, and all he instilled in us. To really look at life and people from the other mans perspective, instead of just my own. it was powerful.
In 2011' my first year, I just focused on the word, no class. I adopted " consider this" as a frame for how I viewed the world and the people I interact with daily. It transformed my mindset, and helped me to move beyond motive and behavior and get to know the story behind people's behavior.
My word for 2012 was GROW. I had no idea of how such a simple word would be a catalyst of change in my life and what I considered opportunities to GROW. It taught me to trust myself, because I am really focused and guiding my processes, even when it doesn't feel good. When I say I'm guiding it, its God directing and me following.
This year, 2013 the word is CREATE. According to Merriam Webster Dictionary To create means
1
: to bring into existence created
2
a : to invest with a new form, office, or rank created
s high food prices>
4
intransitive verb
1
: to make or bring into existence something new
2
: to set up a scoring opportunity in basketball <create off the dribble>
All I can think, is wow! This is what I'm inviting into my life in 2013 with this one little word. It's going to be an amazing, supercalifragalistic year! Yes, that's from Mary Poppins, so I've dated my era.
As I type, in Starbucks, Al Green is playing in the background, Love and Happiness. Grooving to Al Green, typing my thoughts, fulfilling my goal to write daily, it doesnt get better than that. Here's some of the lyrrics:
Love and happiness, Love and happiness, you be good to me, I'll be good to you. We'll be together. That sounds like relationship to me. An exchange, a committment. What better starting point to creation. It began with the Creator, creating with a thought, that came into existence. It all begins with a thought purposing our lives.
So here's what I will create in 2013:
Create Relationhips
Create Art Media
Create Through Song
Create a Vision for Families
Create a Network of Support
Create Tranquility
Create Health
Create Mindfulness
Create Workshops
