One of the blogs that I watch closely challenged me to establish a single word that could be my mantra (so to speak), allowing me to bring clarity and purpose to my actions all year long. I like that idea.
But, of course, I couldn’t decide on only one word. Until I started looking closer at the example in the blog post. She used the acronym FOCUS to establish her theme for the year. It stands for: Follow One Course Until Successful.
I kept coming back to that idea, rolling it around in my head. I wasn’t quite sure what to make of it. Eventually, I realized that the reason that I was so drawn to this concept is because focus is lacking in my life. I tend to be very flighty, following every good idea that comes along, until another comes along. Often, I end up unknowingly sabotaging my own efforts.
So, stealing the example was simply the way to go for me. I definitely will focus more on achieving FOCUS. I have picked a plan to follow for my jewelry business and I will stick with it, no matter what. That consistency is going to bring me the results that I have desired, but not yet achieved. It will steady my course and help me to strengthen my self-discipline.
What will you FOCUS on this year?
