One Word 2014-Focus

Yes I am late...better late then never.  Although I choose my word at the beginning of January I'm just sharing it with you!  If you haven't ran across the One Word theory for creating a yearly resolution I will give you me application of it and a few sources to read more so that you too can engage in a one word centered resolution.

After reading (okay listening to audio book) One Word That Will Change Your Life, Expanded Edition, I take the view that this system is a way to address all areas of my life using One Word.  "One Word explains how to simplify your life and business by focusing on just ONE WORD for the entire year. The simplicity of choosing one word makes it a catalyst for life-change. Clutter and complexity lead to procrastination and paralysis, while simplicity and focus lead to success and clarity." (Summary)

This year I choose the word FOCUS: 

FOCUS:
noun

1. The center of interest or activity.
2. the state or quality of having or producing clear visual definition. 

verb

1. (of a person or their eyes) adapt to the prevailing level of light and become able to see clearly.
2.  pay particular attention to.

The reason that I choose the word Focus is that it applies to all areas of my life.  Whatever I pursue from my walk with Christ, my family, my health or my business, my aim is to remain focused.  I will focus on the details while seeing the big picture always keeping Christ at the center.  In addition to this One Word I also made a Vision Board that has many things that I can Focus on daily.  I have the board in my room over my desk area and it has been a great inspiration. 

From time to time I will revisit my One Word 2014 -Focus Journey and how I'm using my vision board to keep my focus at all times. 

I hope that you to will find a word that speaks to your life this year.
