My One Word for 2013
Discipline—For
the longest time I thought discipline was another word for punishment. So I didn’t
like it. Who likes punishment after all? But I later learned that it also means
staying on task. And that means structure. I know many people, especially
writer/artist types, eschew the thought of structure, believing it robs them of
any freedom in their life. I’m exactly the opposite. I thrive on structure
because it keeps me on track and makes my time fly.

So I do
like discipline. I just don’t do it well. That’s why my goal this year, my one word, is discipline. Thank you, Melanie, for making my one word
button. Stop by her website, http://www.onlyabreath.com/, if you’re interested in one for
your blog.
In the
coming weeks I’ll be sharing how my journey toward greater discipline in areas
is going.
