What’s Your Theme?

Boldness

I declared that one word my theme for 2004.  Interesting impact!  In fact, whenever I’ve created a theme, whether it coincides with the beginning of a new year or with a certain project on which I’m working, it always has an impact.  This one “BOLDNESS” declared itself so, the word itself on display at my desk inside a picture frame.  It weaved its way into my days and into my mind.  Very often, as I made decisions during the year, it invited me to go for it, rather than play it safe.

There have been times I’ve kept my theme to myself, almost as a personal secret.  Other times, I’ve told as many people who would listen, like this past year. (It sort of went with being bold!)

Inspiration From Others

Here are some ideas for creating themes, along with real-life examples from others:

Think of a quality you would like to embody: Boldness, Confidence, Diligence
A certain area which you want to emphasize: Connection, Fun, Impact
A slogan that motivates you or relates to a goal:  I Am Curious, Make It Happen, No Limits, Alive and Green, Now or Never, Believe, Focused Not Fearful, Show Me the Money, Physically & Fiscally Fit, I’m On My Way.

What’s Your Theme?

Create your personal theme to launch the New Year.  Once you do this, it may take on a life of its own!  I’m off to work on mine.
