Looking Ahead to 2025: Our Chosen Words of Intention for the New Year

As we step into 2025, it’s the perfect time to reflect on what we want to achieve and how we want to navigate the year ahead. And to start off, we'd like to share our intentional words.

Here at TeamTubb, we’ve adopted Richard’s tradition of choosing our guiding words for the year—three words that will shape our actions, mindset, and intentions. This simple but powerful practice helps us stay focused on what truly matters, and we’re excited to share our words for 2025 with you.

We hope these words inspire you to reflect on your own guiding principles for the year, and perhaps even choose your own three intentional words to help shape your path in 2025. You can also read more about choosing a word of the year here.
