Chris Brogan proposes three words to define your outlook for a year. Instead of a resolution, these three words can frame the intention for a year and not providing a prescriptive goal.
Keeping with the alphabet theme of the moment, I’ve found three words that describe the year that I would like to have.
Attend–This year I will be present and pay attention to the things that matter. It means that I will tend to the things that need doing everyday to work towards that goals I’ve set for myself. It also means I’ll show up at the gym, at networking events, and for social functions.
Breakthrough–I’ve spent the last few years untangling, learning things, and learning about myself. This is the year I’ll figure out how to be in business for myself finally. The preparations are nearly complete and it is time to get going already. It’s time for the training wheels to come off.
Cavort–This silly word means to frolic and dance. It comes from a lucky coin given to me by a friend. This year is about lively, boisterous fun…with others. This year I won’t be doing it alone. Perhaps I’ll wear more pink. Join me in the play.
