Words hold so much weight; they can lift people up as well as tear someone down. They can transport us to a different world through novels, teach us about different cultures through languages, and they are one of the most anticipated milestones of childhood! Every year one of my favorite activities is determining which words I want to choose to direct my next 12 months!
It’s typical to choose one word for the year, but because I’m extra in every sense, I have always chosen three. I like things in 3’s, and this one just fits! Last year, for 2024, my words were “open, passion, radical”. I chose to be open to new opportunities, challenges and directions; chase after my passions, and (hopefully) experience radical movement. While it might not have looked like I envisioned, I can say with certainty that I experienced all three of those in mighty ways!
So what am I selecting for 2025?!
Big - Thrive - Purpose
As my own coach, Alexandra, so eloquently put it - I can’t wait to THRIVE in BIG ways as I live out my PURPOSE!
One of my mottos for this year, is ‘Thrive in 2025’ because duh, it sounds cute! However, it also has huge power and potential! It’s so easy to get stuck in survival mode, or maybe a step above that, of complacency mode. I refuse to accept that, I truly want to thrive!
I have always had this deep knowing and longing for a big life! I don’t mean something showy or flashy, it’s more of an innate sense that God has called me to do big things and leave a big legacy. While I have had tastes of that here and there, this year I am determined to step up and go all in to living as big as possible!
Lastly, part of thriving and living a big life is to be fully aligned with my God given purpose! This is a huge one for me. For the past chunk of years, I have struggled quite a bit internally. I have experienced a lot of life changes, and for someone who used to PREACH against change, this has rocked my world, so to speak. Despite knowing full well who I am, what I value, and what I am worth, I have questioned my purpose in many ways. 2025 is when that changes!
To say I’m excited for what this year will bring is an understatement! I wake up each day with an eager anticipation of seeing what God will reveal to me, what lessons He will send (even if I don’t want them), and how I can continue shining my light.
Have you set your word(s) for this year?! Comment and tell me what they are! 🎉💗
