The other day, my friend brought up one of my favourite New Year’s traditions: choosing an inspiring word.
It’s something I’ve been doing for years.
And keep me on track.
So I live my life based on my highest values.

The seeds you sow, grow?
Or Tony Robbins’ version “energy flows where your focus goes?”

Begin.
What a funny little word.
So small.

It calls for action. For movement forward.

But what is surprising (at least to me) is that I wasn’t making it happen.
No matter how much I wanted to, I just couldn’t take any action.
I felt frustrated and stuck.
Every time I got close to posting something I’d think: “don’t be ridiculous, who the heck is going to watch you?”
