My word for 2010: Purpose

Here is a nifty idea: Pick one word (or three) that for you encapsulates what you would like to accomplish in the coming year.

My word is: purpose.

Here is the definition: “A result or effect that is intended or desired; an intention.” Also “deliberately.” And to good purpose: “with good results.”

My goal is to choose the activities I spend my time on consciously. I want these activities to have purpose, which is to bring meaning into my life. These purposeful activities can range from working toward larger goals to the small things we do every day. In other words, I don’t want to waste my time on activities that have no purpose.

The purpose of life is a life of purpose. — Robert Byrne
