This 1 Word Impacted Me the Most In 2023

Every time the end of the year comes along, I am so hopeful for the upcoming year.

Call me an optimist, but I always think the new year is going to bring new exciting experiences, challenges, and goals to beat.

But I’m like most people. I think of a few resolutions I’d like to start and keep in the new year. Then…I let them fall by the wayside never to be thought of again.

This year was a bit different.

It started off in the same way, but I ended it with a bang.

And it’s all due to one simple word. A word I used to scoff at. (Joke’s on me. This word makes all the difference between success and failure.)

Consistency.

It wasn’t until the end of the year when I had two goals, both of them requiring consistency to complete:

  1. A 12-week calorie counting challenge.
  2. Writing (almost) every day on Medium.

What happened when I was finally consistent with my goals?

  1. I surpassed my 5-pound weight loss goal by one pound.
  2. I‘ve already more than passed my goal of doubling my Medium earnings from last month (and the month is only half over at the time of this writing).

What word do you think I’ll focus on in the new year?

Yup, you guessed it.

It’ll be consistency again.

Because consistency works!
