Choosing A Guide Word for a Purposeful New Year

December 27, 2023

New Year Intention

As the holiday lights twinkle, I'm reminded that joy isn't exclusive to any one tradition.
It's a universal language that even I, a Jew celebrating New Year on April 1st, can understand and cherish.
This season, I revel in the glow of my neighborhood, a beacon of the collective spirit that this time of year ignites.
Reflecting on the past year's mosaic of experiences, I recognize each moment's role in sculpting the stronger, more empowered person I've become. As we step into the future, I encourage you to embrace a ritual that's reshaped my approach to the New Year: selecting a word as your compass.
This year, my word is "Determination."
Let's take this to reflect on the things past, set an intention on the possibilities ahead, and choose a word that will anchor and guide you and keep you focused. Let this word serve as a steady pulse, pushing you forward and realigning you with your path.
"Determination" became my guiding word due to a deep introspection into my journey over the past year.
 It emerged from recognizing the challenges I faced and the resilience I had to muster.
This word encapsulates my relentless pursuit of goals, the tenacity in overcoming obstacles, and the unwavering focus that defines my approach to life and personal growth.
It signifies a desire to achieve and a commitment to persist despite difficulties, embodying the strength and fortitude I've nurtured through my experiences.
What will your word be?
As we bid farewell to this year and welcome the next, choose a beacon that promises growth, focus, and fulfillment.   Share your word and intentions below (or with a friend), and let's hold each other accountable as we journey into a year of boundless potential.
Check out this amazing magazine with resources thoughtfully curated by my friend and my growth strategist.  This magazine is more than a collection of resources designed to kickstart you into a strategic and impactful New Year; It's a pathway to a year where every step you take is purposeful and every goal is within reach.
Thank you for being my companions on this incredible journey.
May your holidays be as bright as the hopes we carry into the New Year.
Cheers to a future crafted by our shared determination, captured with our dreams, and lived with purpose.

Happy Holidays, and here's to a New Year that sees us all stepping into our best selves.
