My theme word for 2013 is DESIRE. And I’ve begun to notice how it’s already showing up in two main areas of my life map: relationships and business.
I’m being reminded of how much freedom there is in getting clear about what you really want. There is liberation in creating a vision for what you want your life to look like. And there is ongoing affirmation in taking that first step and watching in wonder as the universe paves a path for you.
2013 is already showing up with a whirlwind of clarity, handing me a mandate to shift the way I’ve been thinking about what’s possible for my life.
This is the year of choosing to do what you want to do, not what you think you should do. This is the year of not waiting for permission. This is the year you stop needing outside validation to make the choices you already know are right for you.
If you want to launch your own business this year, begin the process right now. If you want to find a better job, start networking to see what opportunities are out there. If you want to enter into a new romantic relationship, let it be known.
You don’t have to wait to be “chosen.” You can choose. (click to tweet this quote!)
Desire, as good as it sounds, is really only about knowing what you want. Choosing is deciding to actually go after it. Whether it’s a man or a client, it’s time to make your move.
Be willing to leave your comfort zone. To have a different life, you have to do different things. Allow the universe to show you a new way. (click to tweet this quote!)
This is the year of choosing instead of waiting to be chosen.
What will you choose this year?

Great post, it speaks to me…..
This is so timely for me. GREAT POST!
Thanks for reading LaNeshe! It’s always so nice to see your lovely face in the comments here :)
This year I will choose to be more aggressive about my desire to advance at my current employer. I mean, I didn’t get into debt for nothing at least I can have a job that will offset the cost of obtaining my degree. I know I have what it takes to do the job, but I’ve been too relaxed about the entire process. Maybe, I am waiting for the position to drop in my lap (laughing).
That’s a great goal for this year. The worst they can ever tell you is no!
Hi Rosetta,
I have decided that 2013 is the year of “Doing”. Instead of wishing that I could see new places, I am saving money and making plans for short trips to Europe. Instead of wishing I could make a full time living online, I am working on different strategies that will hopefully lead to a full time income.
It is time for wishing to become a reality and the only way that can happen is by “Doing”
What a great motivational post. Thank you so much.
Such a nice video about black women in this day and age, you guys should watch it!
