I often talk about wanting to spread the word that hope is possible. If you had to narrow it down to one word that you want to spread throughout the world what would it be?
I also believe in the power of words on a small, more personal level. Try summing up what you want more of in your life in one word. Instead of using the post-it notes to write endless lists for groceries, chores etc. (Which if you’re anything like me it’s a list of things you keep conveniently forgetting about because you really don’t want to do it.) Instead of bombarding your world with words that put you in a bad mood every time you look at them (again this may only be in my case as it’s the “not want to-do list”) write your power word on pieces of paper and stick one your fridge, computer screen or put it in your wallet. The more the word occupies your physical environment and therefore your thoughts both consciously and unconsciously the more likely it is you’ll bring it to fruition.
For me its grace. I don’t just mean because I have tendency to be clumsy, I mean I admire those that approach difficult situations with graceful strength and would like to find a way to emulate that and if a side effect is less bruises from running into the coffee table than I’ll take that too.
