Many words have bounced around my head in the past two weeks, as I have been trying to decide upon THE one-word that will fit me in 2012. Choosing one word is a difficult process, as I compiled a long list on my iPhone in just a short amount of time. Believe, think, inspire, humble, cultivate, calm, explore, and respect had all made the first cut. My final decision came this past week when I finally realized (very deeply) what word I should pick. It was while reading Doug Johnson’s Post regarding his “2011 Shipping List.” This post was inspired by Seth Godin, which in turn inspired me. And that’s when I decided upon INSPIRATION as my one-word. My own “shipping list” is just that; professional successes that will carry over into 2012 as encouragement. The inspiration around me needs to be my focus for the year in order to keep me charged and moving forward with my growth mindset intact. (I see this WORD directly aligning to the goals I have within my personal life as well!)
