Better

Last year during a book study at school we were reading The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon.  One of our assignments during our study was to pick one word for our year which is also based on a book, My One Word by Mike Ashcraft and Rachel Olsen. Long story short, instead of making a resolution for the New Year.  You pick a word.  If you go here you can read about that.

Basically, here is a simple three step introduction.
Step One:  Determine the kind of person you want to be.
Step Two:  Identify the characteristics of that person.
Step Three:  Pick a word.

Last year, I picked the word consistent. I felt that I did a good job being consistent.

I started thinking about what word I wanted to use for 2019.  I have been thinking for a few weeks.  I have still been thinking about the person I want to be this year, and for every year for that matter.  I have thought about those characteristics of that person.  And today, on the second day of the year, I picked my word.  I'm sure if you read the title of my blog, you know what my word is.  I know there's not much suspense here. 

But in case you were wondering......
My word is.....

Better

This year, all I want to be is better.  Not better than anyone else, but better than the person I was the day before.

I want to be a better person.

A better teacher.

A better daughter.

A better auntie.

A better sister.

A better friend.

In better shape.

In better health.

A better runner.

A better weightlifter.

A better listener.

Just better.

Here's to a better 2019!
