Humanity is optimistic, thus our endless pursuit of a better year than the last. Even when a year is spectacular, it would be demoralizing to assume that it couldn’t get better.
Long ago I gave up making New Year’s resolutions. Instead, I designate a theme for the year. This method is wonderful, because a theme touches each aspect of my life; health, career, personal, social, etc. It works for me. It helps me refocus when life seems to get bogged down. Whatever life throws me during the year, I reflect on my theme and how it can help me. It has never failed.
My theme for 2011 is INVIGORATE. What a great word. It exudes life and energy and motion. Thus, so will this year. It will be great.
