Forward

Are you looking forward?

Are you moving forward?

Are you where you want to be?

Are you doing the things you want to do in your life?

Are you living your best life?

2013 has begun, and with a new year comes a new theme or word to follow me, be with me and guide me throughout each day. I will embrace my word, love my word and learn from my word. I will remind myself of my word as I move through my day. I will ask myself if what I am doing, saying and feeling honors my word. My word, as you may have already guessed⎯FORWARD.

While others may focus on resolutions this time of the year, I find having one word motivates me in more ways than I will ever know. Resolutions have a tendency to magnify my shortcomings when I fail to do that which I had resolved to do. Resolutions are soon forgot and do not necessarily move me in the direction I would like to go.

Forward is positive

Forward moves you ahead

Forward is the right direction

Forward is further than you have been before

Choose a word or theme that will motivate you, provide momentum to live your best life and move you forward. Will you be walking in someone else's footsteps or beginning a path of your own? Will you be repeating the same path you have been on time and time again? What direction will you be heading? Join me as I move FORWARD one step at a time into the rest of the year.
