One Word for 2010



I heard a couple of DJ's on the radio this morning talking about a new idea for 2010...instead of coming up with a long list of Resolutions we don't believe we can really accomplish, how about just coming up with one word to use as a filter for everything you do this year instead?

Here's some examples:

LOVE - everything I do, I will do in love. I'll make time for those I care about. If I can't do something in a loving way, or if it'll make me resentful, then I should say no to it.

EFFICIENT - I will spend wisely...my time, my day, my money, my emotions. I will only do things that are efficient. I won't waste resources, especially my time, unless it makes things better or easier in the future.

BRAVE - I will try new things, stop being afraid of what "might happen". I'll be willing to believe I can do something without fear of failure.

See what I mean? Give it some thought. What will be YOUR word for 2010?
