Imagine one word that would set the tone. A word to focus on. A word that will motivate you to do better. A word to guide you to stand still in times of challenges and doubts. A word that will light up the direction, no matter where you are in the world. A word is a key to achieving your end goals for the year.

Quotes:

\xa0

\u201cI love a goal because they inform who I need to become in order to reach them. They become my guide to reveal to me what's holding me back, and also to reveal to me my own becoming.\u201d

\xa0

\u201cSelf-image transformation is the study of energetics. We are all a ball of energy, and that energy is attracting certain things and repelling certain things.\u201d

\xa0

\u201cWhat you do isn't as important as who you are when you're doing it.\u201d

\xa0

\u201cWhen you deeply understand this concept and you apply it to your life, prepare to be delighted. Navigating life without this model will lead you to frustration and hopelessness. As desperately as you want things to be different, you'll keep feeling stuck.\u201d\xa0
