One Little Word...

Every year towards the end of December, discussions pop up regarding One Little Word and every year I think, This will be THE year I participate! I hem and haw and browse through words for something that inspires me. I usually settle on a word, never feeling like it was The One, which results in me abandoning the project shortly after.

Until this year. There has been a word that keeps popping up in my mind lately. That word is THRIVE.

Definition of THRIVE

1 : to grow vigorously : flourish
2 : to gain in wealth or possessions : prosper
3 : to progress toward or realize a goal despite or because of circumstances —often used with on <thrives on conflict>
 I can't remember when I stumbled across this word, but its been hanging around me for weeks. Thriving is so much more than growing, flourshing, and accomplishing, its doing so regardless of life's circumstances. For me it's rising above the drama, negativity, and pain caused by others. Its even overcoming my own self-doubts and pushing past my comfort zone. I don't want to just Be, I want to Thrive, and 2013 is the year that it happens.
