I always have ONE word for the year and this year I am going to use one of my favourite words: GUMPTION!
Do you have what it takes as in ‘gumption’ - 2021 here I come!
Gumption!
And no, it has nothing to do with cleaning, as some might think, but all to do with initiative, resourcefulness, courage, common sense and shrewdness.
Gee, that would really annoy 2020 ??
Gumption is transformational!
It will move you from good to exceptional and whilst the dictionary says it is “informal”, fortunately some of our best qualities, words or relationships are informal.
Gumption makes you do things, like doing your job right. It will also not let you to slack off which is nice of Gumption to take care of. Gumption will let you read this article up to this point and Gumption will make you act when something goes wrong. Gumption (and a box of chocolate) will get you through anything that someone (or life) will throw at you.
Gumption in 2021 means that with all the learning I have, I can now show initiative in a better way, I can pass on my knowledge and experience, I can show courage and lead from within, I can apply common sense (and wear a mask, go for walks, eat healthy and stay alert…) and I can show good power of judgement.
Such a simple word with so much meaning!
What will your word be for 2021 and why?
Have a Happy New Year full of gumption! (we might need it ;)

3 年Mine will be ‘zoom’ - not just because of the online meeting platform (although this was a huge part of my life during 2020) but also how the world zoomed into action and made so many changes. I also think it is a good reminder that normally we zoom through life and that 2020 presented a good opportunity for us all to slow down a bit....
