The start of a new year is always a time for reflection, intention, and growth. As 2025 begins, I’ve chosen a single word to anchor my thoughts, actions, and goals for the year: Resolve.
This word isn’t just a fleeting thought or a trendy pick; it’s a commitment—a promise to myself to show up authentically and move forward with determination and purpose, no matter what lies ahead.
Why “Resolve”? The past year brought its fair share of ups and downs—professionally, personally, and within my industry as a whole. I faced tough decisions, moments of doubt, and challenges that tested my limits. But through it all, I discovered the power of standing firm in my values, even when the path was unclear.
Part of my journey this year included investing in my growth and skills. I had the privilege of attending four professional conferences, including an unforgettable experience in France. These opportunities allowed me to connect with others, refine my craft, and gain fresh inspiration for the work I love.
For me, Resolve means:
Facing challenges head-on with courage and clarity.
Staying focused on what truly matters, even when distractions arise.
Turning obstacles into opportunities for growth and transformation.
What Resolve Looks Like in 2025 I’ve set three key intentions for the year that embody the spirit of Resolve:
Defining and pursuing what truly aligns with my purpose. I want every choice I make this year to reflect what matters most to me, both professionally and personally.
Facing obstacles with strength and grace. Challenges are inevitable, but this year, I’m choosing to see them as opportunities for growth rather than roadblocks.
Building resilience through purposeful action. Each step forward, no matter how small, is a testament to strength and resolve.
Looking Ahead As I embrace Resolve, I feel a renewed sense of focus and empowerment. This word serves as a daily reminder to stay grounded in my values, trust my journey, and approach each day with intention.
Attending those conferences this past year was a game-changer for me—it reminded me of the importance of learning, connection, and growth. I’m carrying those lessons forward into 2025, guided by my Resolve to keep pushing forward with strength and purpose.
Now, I want to hear from you. Do you choose a word of the year? If so, what’s your word for 2025? Let’s inspire one another to make this year a meaningful one, driven by purpose and filled with growth.
Here’s to a year of Resolve, resilience, and living boldly!
