before we dive in do you have a word for the year and what is your word your word for the year yasra do you have a word for the year oh that's a good question um it's hard to choose one word um but for me it is it would have to be just driven stay driven stay driven driven okay um share your word in the comments I would love to know my word for 2023 was gratitude um because just you know reflecting on the prior year I just had a lot of things I I continue to have a lot of things to be grateful for and I needed to remind myself um to be grateful and so the reason why I love having a word for the year is because it's something that you can anchor yourself to for the next several months where if you start to forget your goals or your your goals are not going according to plan or life is getting in the way you remember this word and it kind of brings you back to the intention you have set for the year so My word for 2024 is Grace in addition to being gratitude but it's Grace because uh this year I struggle a lot with burnout I struggle a lot with doing too much and I was really hard on myself when I couldn't get stuff done even though I was doing a lot of stuff and a lot of things were happening and so I think in order to stay the course long term of what I'm trying to achieve in my life in my finances with my business in my relationships I have to learn to give myself Grace um in addition to being grateful so that is my word for the year so I'd love to to hear what um your words are for the year somebody says expansion hi analyst Vanessa says consistency Tasha says discipline just sitting just sitting pretty said I have two words Big League I love that I love that Dalia says patience Katina says commitment uh kume says alignment consistency action abundance I love these prosperity stability so write this word that you have said for yourself you've you've you're saying for yourself peace growth uh restoration write down your word and put it somewhere where you can see it often so my word for uh the ye
