We’re on the 10th day of 2018, not too late for my 2018 One Word, I guess. This is my 3rd year of selecting a single word to define my goals and expectations for the year. In 2016, I chose Simplify and last year, I declared Happiness as my one word. And this time, I am choosing “Peace.”
Looking back, I’ve been in several conflicts and disappointments last year. Because of that, I can do recall how many times I got angry and lose my temper. It was stressful. Some relationships were tarnished. Good thing I was able to address those misunderstandings and revived the once damaged relationship.
With that said, my happiness goal in 2017 was not fully achieved. Thus, I will continue my quest for a happy life this year and beyond.
This year, I will continue to nurture a peaceful, harmonious relationship with my family, friends and colleague. I will be more patient and calm. I know it is difficult to hold our temper when things go wrong but I will try my best to handle things without agitation.
2 things I want to change or avoid:
- I will avoid yelling to my children. There’s one situation last month that hit my heart so hard. I reprimanded Thea for a particular misdeed. You know what, Yohan ran upstairs and refused to clean up before bedtime. And then I asked why, he replied, Ayaw ko ng nag-aaway na pamilya (I dont’ want a family who are fighting). It must be something for a seven year old to say that.
- I will avoid conflicts with co-workers. I vow to maintain a harmonious relationship with my colleauges. I am grateful that our department hired new staff last year. Aside from additional manpower, I am happy that they are all amazingly intelligent and kind. Swerte talaga pag mababait ang nakukuhang staff. Malamang mahahawaan nila ako ng kabaitan at maraming pasensya para iwas pakikipagtalo na hahaha.
So that’s it, I already declared PEACE as my #2018OneWord. How about you, have you chosen a word for this year? Shout them out in the comment section.
Good luck and God Bless us always.
