A word for 2021
Niklas Göke’s word for 2021 is “matter”. He’ll use this word as his theme for the year to centre all his thoughts and actions. More of a guide for the year than a goal.
A theme is a baseline ideal, one that you use to guide your actions and decisions. It isn’t worried about tomorrow, nor does it care what happened yesterday. With a theme, all that matters is what you do today. It turns happiness into an attainable, daily standard that’s based on your behavior, not your accomplishments.
I’ve always liked the idea of themes, whether they be daily, weekly, monthly or even yearly. I must admit though, I haven’t done a yearly goal for a couple of years. I have definitely wandered off my intended path over the last couple of years.
I think I have a word in mind for this year, but I’ll just keep it to myself if you don’t mind.
