Hey there, friends! As we step into the blank canvas of 2024, I can't help but feel a surge of excitement! This year, I’m declaring a word for the coming year. A word that will act as a beacon that will light my path through whatever comes my way – "Perseverance."
A Personal Journey of Resilience:
Perseverance to me is having the drive and fortitude to push through challenges that will arise in 2024, whether in my personal life or work life; challenges related to fear or negativity or overwhelm.
For me, turning 50 carried a lot of different emotions with it. The one that stands out the most is that I’m entering a new phase of life that is not centrally focused on motherhood. It’s left this feeling of a somewhat blank canvas, unsure of what comes next. It’s left me asking the question, “how do I want to show up for myself and others the next 50 years?”
In a world that's constantly evolving, I've come to realize and accept that challenges are inevitable. It’s God’s way of showing me I’m still kickin’ and have a lot of life to live! So instead of fearing them, why not face them head-on with an unwavering spirit? That to me is the essence of perseverance –showing myself what I’m truly capable of and not just enduring difficulties but thriving in the face of them!
Setting the Tone:
2024 holds the promise of transformation and I'm ready to embrace it with open arms. Choosing "Perseverance" as my guiding word isn't about expecting a smooth ride; it's about acknowledging the bumps in the road and navigating them with strength and resilience.
Every Challenge, an Opportunity:
Challenges are like unexplored territories waiting to be discovered. They are the raw material that, when handled with perseverance, can be sculpted into steppingstones toward personal growth. This year, I'm approaching challenges not as roadblocks but as opportunities for transformation.
The Power of Small Wins:
Perseverance isn't always about conquering mountains; it's about taking intentional, consistent steps. Small wins, when accumulated, contribute to the larger picture of success. I'm crafting a consistency code, a set of daily habits that fuel my resilience and keep me on the path of perseverance.
Cultivating a Persevering Mindset:
A positive mindset is the fuel that propels perseverance. Incorporating mindfulness practices, gratitude exercises, and positive affirmations into my daily routine will continue to keep me on my path. They are not just tools; they are the foundation for nurturing optimism and strength.
Navigating Together:
As I embark on this journey of perseverance in 2024, I invite you to join me. Let's navigate the challenges together, sharing stories of triumphs and setbacks, and finding inspiration in each other's resilience. The year ahead is an unwritten story, and with perseverance as our guide, I'm excited to see the beautiful narrative we'll create!
So here's to a year of navigating challenges with strength, embracing the power of perseverance, and thriving in the face of whatever comes our way. Let's make 2024 truly remarkable!
