    Well, this one is quite an eternity on my list. On my first 43things-rush i found it a splendid wonderful idea, then i found it quite silly, and now – in need for more goal-space – i think to myself ‘why not!’...

    Lets see and give it a focus.



    THIS 22 months ago

    The word is THIS. It represents that every moment brings me exactly what it should and I need to accept THIS and the next THIS and the next THIS and not make them into problems. A variation on “now,” I suppose. Base root acceptance of what is.

    Alright, after much consideration, I’m going with the word AWARE. Although I do not think it is possible to identify a single word that encapsulates everything I’m trying to do, be, and learn, I do think that awareness comes before anything else. Without awareness, I will not know how what I do affects myself and others. Awareness will also allow me to identify barriers to doing and learning new things. Now let’s just see if I can pull it off…

    I was going to write another entry explaining why I picked Strength. But now I think that you can figure it out by the definition of the word.

    EMBRACE 2 years ago

    i read an article in “Domino Magazine” about these women who have a consultancy that determines based on a number of factors, what combination of two words determines someone’s personal style to help them figure out where they’re off track in their space/style persona’s. Sort of like a self actualizing thing i think.

    I thought that was really interesting at the time and now reading this goal, its funny how different my combination of elegant/collage feels from the word i automatically and indisputably know to be my ‘one word’ of EMBRACE.

    It came immediately.

    It is a delicate, firm, intimate, wanting to know, learn, wanting to be touched and understood, purposeful kind of word that is spontanious and momentary.

    I embrace the future, its vast uncertainty! I hold dearly the people i love unconditionally, i hold myself with compassion and ward away the unecessary evils of the day but am open to new understandings!

    Heh, i embrace all sides of myself including that of the dork who wrote the above!
