March Forth

march forth and set the world on fireToday is March 4th!

By now for most of us the year has lost that brand new shine.

Those goals, dreams, intentions that you would have started 2015 with may have hit a snag, you’re no longer as excited about them or you may have abandoned them completely.

I’m here to tell you that you can use today as a new start.

I can hear you now…who starts anything on a Wednesday?? Far less on the 4th day of a new month or even the third month in the year?

Does it really matter when you start? Or only that you do?

BEGIN NOW!

TODAY…the day itself is a call to action.

A call to MARCH FORTH. PROCEED FEARLESSLY!

What desire, goal, dream or intention requires action?

What area of your life demands that you march forth? That you proceed fearlessly on?

What do you need a little extra push on?

This is not just about New Years resolutions, or to-do lists it’s about any goal, desire, dream or intention that requires a little effort to effect a positive change in your life.

This is about evolving into the best version of yourself…the person you were created to be.

This is about follow through, so that you can live your best life.

What will you MARCH FORTH on today…March 4th?

PUSH to Start

2015 is off to a hectic start!

Man I wish I was still on vacation. I went back out to work to a very hectic schedule. So much so, it’s been a work all day, get home and crawl into bed kinda week thus far.

Staying committed to doing one new thing a day has been tough, especially in the last two days where my daily routine has been somewhat restored. Which is exactly what I’m trying to push against…push through.

My routine, while it gets the ‘job’ done does not make me happy ultimately…struggle bus business really.

So in an effort to get off the bus to ennui and set the tone for the coming months, I’ve set up a couple dates with fun!

One Word 2015This month’s update which should have been published yesterday is short and sweet.

As promised I’m doing my monthly One Word Update where I share the evolution of this One Word journey on the 15th of every month.

Stay tuned for my next update on February 15th.

Happy Everything 2015 {My One Word Reveal}

One Word 2015

This is my third year doing One Word 365. I gave up making resolutions two years ago. What’s this all about? You can read more about the movement here.

My word for 2014 was MOVE, however, I spent most of last year feeling like I was waiting for something to happen..or that I was in a state of perpetual anticipation for something…but I never found out what. When it came to choosing my theme for 2015, I felt like I needed to get out of that place of “waiting.” Which lead me to PUSH.

According to the Macmillan Dictionary PUSH has several meanings. It can be:

  • A pushing movement
  • A way to encourage someone
  • A determined attempt
  • A movement of an army
  • A determination to do something
  • Or something difficult to do

PUSH in my case being the ability to get up every day and push against or through everything that I think or feel might be holding me back from living my best life. This year my focus will be on pushing forward towards creating the life I want to live and evolving into the me God created me to be.

PUSH will be my reinvention. I have some specific goals written down for the coming 12 months and I plan to focus those goals around this theme of PUSH. 2015 will see me pushing myself personally, professionally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Yep, my spirituality is included in there as well.

What you do today
can improve all your tomorrows.
– Ralph Marston

Set Intention.

Take the next simple step forward.

Repeat.

Lord, as I begin a new year, begin something new in my relationship with You. I give my life to You. I need You to stand with me and give me the push I need. Because I can’t achieve any of this without You. Amen.

I will share the evolution of this journey on the 15th of every month.
So stay tuned for my next update on January 15th.

Your present circumstances
don’t determine where you can go;
they merely determine where you start.
– Nido Qubein

So folks, in the spirit of clean slates, fresh starts and new beginnings, if you could choose just one word to inspire you for 2015, what would it be?

Brainstorm and please feel free to share it with me in the comments below!
