I tend to be a bit of a pessimist. Not all the time, but sometimes (okay probably more than I want to admit).
In some situations being prepared for potential problem is very helpful and needed, however, it isn't great 24/7. One of my friends from high school, Maddie, runs a health/fitness Instagram (check it out). She shared her "word for 2018" a few days ago (she also has a lot of great, motivating posts that you should read, too). Well I've been laying on the couch the past few days recovering from my wisdom teeth surgery and I thought back to her post. I found the website she used and took the quiz to find my word for 2018.
My quiz result: joy.
This aligns pretty well with my goals through 2018. I want to take advantage of the opportunities I get and live to my fullest potential. I'm choosing joy for 2018 because I want to be a light to others. I want to celebrate every moment (even the little ones). It's very easy in today's world to dwell on just how much is going wrong.
Despite all of the negativity, people every day are accomplishing great things. We need to recognize these efforts-- be joyous in the little moments and big achievements.
I hope that 2018 will be my time to grow into a secure, confident woman who believes in herself and chooses joy above all else.
Until next time,
Taylor xx
