For the last four years, I’ve picked one to three words to guide my focus for the year. It helps shape all the decisions I make and keeps me focused on creating the changes I desire in my life.
Choosing a word or more to guide your focus for the year can be a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation. It's a way to set a clear intention and keep it at the forefront of your mind as you make decisions and take actions throughout the year.
By focusing on specific words, you'd be able to direct your energy and attention towards the things that matter most to you.
This intentional approach to living can be a game-changer. It helps you to be more mindful and present in your daily life, to make decisions that align with your values and goals, and to stay focused on the things that really matter.
This potent tool can assist you in making the changes you want in your life, remaining steadfast in your intentions, maintaining focus on your objectives, and being receptive to the transformation that may result from this straightforward yet profound practice.
It's important to choose a word that feels like a good fit for where you are in your life. Some years, you may need a more active word that reflects a season of growth and change. Other years, you may need a softer, more gentle word that reflects a need for rest and rejuvenation.
For instance, I decided on the word Transformation both in 2021 and 2022 because I yearned to experience a dramatic transformation in my life. It helped me rethink my thinking, which enabled me to make some radical decisions and experience change in my life. This word suited wonderfully with my need for growth and something new. I did make some radical decisions as a result.
Now, in 2023, I am determined to break out of my comfort zone and take on new challenges, so I have chosen SOAR as one of my words for this year. This word represents my desire to overcome my fears and limitations and to embrace the opportunities that come my way or even create my own. I am excited to see where this word takes me and the lessons it will teach me along the way.

I found a dozen of quotes that go along with this word, and I plan to use one daily or weekly or monthly and write it in my journal.
Using inspiring quotes to complement your word for the year can be a great way to stay motivated and focused on your goals. It's a simple yet powerful way to remind yourself of your intention and to keep it at the forefront of your mind throughout the year.
By using one quote daily or weekly or monthly entirely up to you and writing it in your journal, you can create a daily reminder of your word and its meaning. By incorporating quotes into your daily life, you can stay focused on your word and make the most of the opportunities that come your way.
Another way to support myself on this journey, I've put together a selection of themed reading material. These books, including "She Means Business," "Psycho Cybernetics," "The Power of the Subconscious Mind," and "The Art of Living," will guide me in my quest to embrace my full potential.
In addition to my reading list, I've created a vision board that embodies the SOAR mindset. It includes images of people taking risks, pushing past their fears, and achieving their goals. This visual reminder will help me stay focused on my intentions and inspire me to reach for the stars.
As I move forward into this new year, I'm excited to live by my word and watch myself SOAR. I'm ready to break free from my comfort zone, embrace my true potential, and live life to the fullest.
Truly Yours,
The Queen Of Africa
