I like the idea of setting realistic intentions and having a themed word for the year. My word for 2016 was
CHANGE and for 2017 it was
GROWTH and it's funny looking back at these words and the years that followed. Both words definitely fit with each year and 2016 was life changing in many ways. Similarly, 2017 was a year of growth and we had some great moments. I didn't set a word for 2018 but instead wrote
18 goals for 2018 and I think I actually fulfilled most of these. Except knitting a jumper!
For a combination of reasons including
Pip getting older (and getting older myself), I've had some kind of epiphany lately and I know what I want from life. I've always believed in having a good life/work balance and aiming high. However, due to certain factors, there have been times when I've felt really stuck (as in more stuck than I have ever felt in my life) and it's a horrible feeling. One thing I've come to realise lately, perhaps more than ever, is that if you really want to do something you just have to just go for it, look forward and have the belief that everything will be OK. It's great if you get support along the way but ultimately it's down to you and only you.
With this in mind my word for 2019 is ACTION. Wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteThanks Charlotte. Good luck with your medical studies - just read your post and it definitely sounds like you are dedicated!
DeleteAction is a great word to pick, nothing works without it, you can dream the best and greatest dreams if you are not putting them into action, they would only remain dreams.
