I have spoken of this often, I listen to The Two Gomers Run For Their Lives pod cast and each year they come up with a word for their New Year’s resolution. I don’t make resolutions, but I liked the concept of applying one word to my year. Last year the word Grow came to me when I was out on a run. It was a very appropriate word for me for 2014. I have changed in many ways. I left a company I was with for 24 years and started a new job. This job requires that I travel more than the 2 mile commute that I used to have, I am out of the house 5 days per week and I am teach people and interfacing with several people. I love the job. It wasn’t that difficult of a decision for me to take the job. I needed to grow. I was feeling stuck where I was working. My old job wasn’t making me happy. The moral at the company was in the toilet, people were miserable and I was feeling miserable with them. I took a risk, changed a few words in my resume and the job came to me!
As I reflect on my 2014 over the next week, I am thinking of a word that I can apply to my life next year. Grow is still pretty important to me because with my new job I am growing with all of the new things I am learning; but I need a new word. Something to represent what I want to do for myself next year in my career, family, running and personal life. I also want to find more success in my Jamberry business. When I started it last year I had no specific goals, except to keep afloat and not to fail. It is a fun business with cute nail wraps, but I have met so many awesome people who are also runDisney friends and also Mikey Milers! What another great way to network and meet new people! I want to find a specific goal and set it this year.
Do you make resolutions? Do you do a one word resolution? Share with me!
Hmmmm some words that I picked up on while writing this post were “network” “success” “interface” “risk”. I’ll have to chew on those for a bit!
