focus

Last week I talked about my goals for 2015. I like having something to work towards and I’m a list person, so I love crossing things off my list once I have accomplished them. I think it’s important to have something that you want to do so that you can organize your efforts and get where you want to be.

I have seen a few posts in the blog world about choosing one word to help focus the entire year. After reading a few of these posts (here, here, and here) I really started to like the idea of taking one word and using that to fuel my goals. It’s a simple concept and it’s easy to follow through. Two things that make for a lasting habit. So I’ve chosen my word for 2015.

Passion.

For a few years now, I have struggled with my true passion. The main problem is, I didn’t have a clue what it was. Since college, I have had a few ideas of what I wanted to do with my life and where I wanted to channel my passion, but nothing ever seemed to fit. I loved music and thought that was going to be my life. That changed quite a few times since college and this summer I was left wondering what it was that I was suppose to be doing. I had a lot of ideas but no clear cut path. Once Adam started his new job, I decided to take that time and really figure out what I wanted to contribute to society.

After a lot of soul searching and a few tears, the one thing that I found was that my big passion is to help people with their health. I knew what it was like to go through getting healthier. I knew what it was like to want to quit. I knew how confusing it all was. I want to make the path easier for those who are just starting out. That’s what a lot of my goals for 2015 are focused on and I want to use passion to pursue them full throttle.

So I’m going to put passion behind every choice and move that I make this year to help make my goals and dreams come true. I might not have a clear title for what I want to do with my life, but I do have passion for helping others and I want that to shine through everything I do.
