I set out to make this a year of cultivating. Evidently, it is also becoming a year of words and words demand to be defined. So here goes…
Cultivate/Cultivating = {via Merriam-Webster}
-
to prepare and use (soil) for growing plants
-
to grow and care for (plants)
-
to grow or raise (something) under conditions that you can control
Okay, there’s plenty there regarding plants and unfortunately I’m a plant killer. Yes, I admit to being a lousy gardener but I want to try again until I get it right. We’ll see…but that’s a thought for another day. So back to today’s post idea of cultivating.
Well, I do want to apply the word/principle of cultivating to my life. I have the ability to tend to myself and produce growth in areas of my life. For me, this is like trying to live on purpose with purpose {thank you, Lara Casey for those words}. Cultivating something takes time and a plan.
Here’s a few things I’m cultivating on purpose this year and posted about:
- Focus through words based on my faith {read the post here}
- Goals {read the post here}
- Reading {read the post here}
- Learning {read the post here}
Those are just a few examples that I hope will help you to develop a lifestyle of cultivating this year! Have you decided what you want to cultivate this year?
