I have been experiencing moments of excitement that bubble up inside me. Not just your normal happiness, but deep down to the core excitement, and it is truly an amazing feeling. The problem is there is a part of me that feels I am required to push down that excitement. It feels great and yet wrong at the same time. I find myself asking, is this excitement justified, is it real or is this just my ego at play? And where does being humble fit into all this?
If I want to be able embrace this feeling of excitement, I need to keep humbleness at the forefront. This will help to remind me I haven't arrived here solely on my own. I can then enjoy the feeling while also practicing gratitude and having an appreciation of everything and everyone that has contributed to this wonderful emotion.
The previous 2 years on the IHC team I've had a word that was my guiding theme for the year. This was an idea that was inspired by Sihing Cosgrove and has served me well. Smile was the word I chose the first year and then joy was the word for last year. Nothing really called to me this year, nor did I give it much thought until recently. I've now decided to add 'embrace excitement' as my theme this year.
