My daughter has inspired me.
She chooses a focus word every year and uses this focus as she plans her
year and the goals she wants to accomplish.
This year I am following her example. My focus word for the year is Develop, then
each month I have a sub-focus word based on something I need to develop in my life. Last month was journaling. I have always been a journal keeper, but I
wanted to improve my journaling habits. This month, being February, the
sub-focus is relationships. (I know, totally corny).
I have kept this concept
of development in the back of my mind as I have completed the readings for my
classes and in the scriptures. It is
amazing how large my small list of ideas has gotten. This project I started with a single year
projection has the potential to be something I use the rest of my life. I find this exciting! Some of the areas I plan
to develop are optimism, listening, quality, transparency, and surrender. I think focus is another good one to put on the list!
I feel like my February focus on developing relationships
will help in the $100.00 challenge. I
cannot be an effective teacher until I have developed a relationship with my
students. I am looking forward to
getting know those I teach so we are more than just student/teacher, but
friends as well.
