Someone asked me last week, “What is one word that sums up 2021?”
The first word that came to my mind was “survival.”
I was hesitant to say it aloud, but I went ahead and owned it.
Thankfully, this person got it.
Instead of questioning my response and forcing me to focus on the challenges, she asked me to list the good things that happened this year.
BRILLIANT.
It took me a couple of minutes to get going, but then I was on a roll…here is what I’m calling my “Why 2021 Didn’t Suck” list:
The exercise was the attitude adjustment I needed.
So, the moral of this story is instead of focusing on all the things you didn’t accomplish or that didn’t go as planned…celebrate the victories!
Now, it’s your turn: What is one word that sums up 2021 for you?
