Focus - I need to learn to focus in my life. Too many things pulling me in too many directions means that nothing get the focus it deserves.
Patience - I need to learn to be patient. With myself. With others. With God.
Acceptance - I need to learn to accept the things I cannot change, change the things that I can, and know the difference between the two. I need to accept things, good or bad, as they come and grow from the experience that those things give me.
Lots of thinking going on over here.  |
After some reluctance, and a lot of thinking, I've decided to start 2011 by choosing the word Focus. I can apply it to many of the things I listed above, as well as some new things that have come up since I posted that. I found out that I failed my PE test for the second time and will need to take it again in April. So the most important focus for the first 4 months of 2011 will be on learning. Being forced to focus on the learning will also force me to focus on the rest of my life as my time will be limited (and thus I will have to prioritize, and stop procrastinating - which were my time related goals).
So, Focus it is.
