I chose bold as my word for 2016, because I have worked on believing in myself and my abilities this past year in 2015. I have gotten a lot better at believing that I can do it. However, I haven't taken a lot of bold action on my goals like I would like. I have taken baby steps trying to build my confidence up in myself.

Toward the end of 2015, I started to get a little bolder. I chose bold as my word for this year because I want to match my thoughts and learning with bold action. I know I can accomplish great things if I put my mind to it and carve out the time to do it.

As with this class I am taking called, "Your Next Bold Move," I am going to be more bold this year and less timid and shy at going for my big goals and dreams. I believe can make a difference even with all the negative voices in my head telling me to go back to "safety" of a "comfortable" life. I don't want a comfortable life. I want an adventurous life. I'm ready to take this next step and be bold! Bring it on 2016! I'm ready!
