2021 is finally here! Doing away with 2020, the World’s pandemic year, feels delightful in some ways and mournful in others.
I am seeking to find a way to a new vocabulary this New Year. Where resolutions are not something I reach for, I do have thoughts on how to improve myself. Here are some words and actions that I hope to adopt and embrace in the coming days of January.
Dauntless. I want to show fearlessness and determination in all undertakings I am entrusted with; I want to dig deeper and embrace my inner courage.
Vanquish. I am of the mindset that I can thoroughly defeat any fears or doubts I may have. I want to be battle-ready in order to overcome any problem or weakness I may face.
Gumption. If I hear a resounding “No” let every fiber of my being shout back to that voice “Yes”. I want to maintain a shrewd and spirited initiative and encourage myself to reach back with nerve and resourcefulness.
Audacity. I want to be one of great courage and daring and face whatever challenges, however big or small, with a loud tapping toe. I want to be willing to take bold risks and enjoy the thrills that come from this new mental attitude.
Rectitude. I aspire to be straight in my reasoning and align my behavior accordingly. I hope to hold firm in my beliefs, and thereby, hold myself accountable. May any righteousness I show not be born out of judgement of others but only applied to keep myself accountable.
I believe that by adding these new vocabulary words to my inner-dialogue and applying their virtues to my daily life that I will be successful in jump-starting a healthier mind and body.
People get ready…the 2021 train has arrived at the station. Who is ready to climb on with me? All aboard!
