Theme for 2022: Inspired Choices Lead to Joy
Choices… in a Creative, Confident, and Focused Way
As we go from one year into the next, I believe the practice of stopping, or at least pausing to review where we are and where we intend to go is a valuable one. My theme for 2022 is based on choices — ones that I alone make, those made in collaboration with others, and the choices that come about as part of the greater good of mankind.
I’ve now chosen a word or phrase or concept — all parts of a theme of the year — for well over a decade. It began when thought leaders I was following shared their word or phrase with others. Then it continued, at least for me when I observed first-hand the value of goal setting based on a theme that resonated and made sense for me at a specific point in time.
I begin thinking about a theme for the coming year sometime in the fall. This year I distinctly recall reading through one of my books (what, you don’t read your own books?!) and thinking about how far I’d come as an author, entrepreneur, and marketer since I began as an online entrepreneur in 2006. My success is directly tied to the choices I make every day, along with how I act upon them in the days that follow. My choices, my life. Your choices, your life.
