I love the concept of choosing a word for the year, rather than making New Year's Resolutions. I've done this in the past and had some success with focusing on the concept throughout the year.
I hadn't really given much thought to a new word for 2011 until I heard Lisa and Eric on KLOVE talking about the concept a couple of weeks ago. I've been thinking about it on and off since then, and a quick Google search shows that I'm not alone.
Finally, after thinking long and hard, I think I've landed on my word: PURPOSE. I originally typed out a long post about all the areas this applies to my life, but then I realized the irony there-- what's the purpose giving my readers a long, detailed list that only applies to myself? LOL!
I'll give you the short version: I want the things I do with my time and the objects in my life to serve some {good} purpose. No more wasting hours away, no more clutter to clean around (love it or it's gone), and no more spending time doing things I feel obligated to do when there are so many things I truly want to do. I seriously debated between purpose and focus, but purpose just feels right to me.
So, what about you? Have YOU chosen a word to focus on in 2011?
