What are Your Words for 2009?
Everyone talks about having resolutions or
goals for a new year, but what about simply
having words? Choosing a few words that have
special meaning to you this year can help you
focus your efforts in a surprisingly strong
way, in both your personal and professional
life. A few of us at High Point are kicking
around things like Communication ... Strength
... Balance ... Laughter ... Service ....
Take a few minutes and think about what your
words for this year will be. Then write them
down somewhere you'll see them every day.
Sometimes that's all it takes.
Ah, the power of words!
