What is your word for 2021?
β
Your word of the year acts as your guiding word for the entire year. This could be the word you need to learn the most this year.
β
In 2019, my word or theme for the year was GO GLOBAL.
β
Indeed, I went global in 2019. For the first time, I got invited to speak to non-Filipino audiences and travel to India, U.S. Singapore, Malaysia, and the Maldives. I attended Jack Canfieldβs seminar-on-cruise wherein we traveled to Miami, Florida; Honduras; Bahamas; Cozumel, Mexico, and Costa Maya, Mexico.
β
In 2020, my word for the year was RELAX. True enough, 2020 was my most relaxed year so far. I was mostly home due to the pandemic. 2020 was also the year I started to take care of plants and pet birds and transformed my home into a relaxing abode.
β
I also established boundaries around my working hours. As much as I could, I only worked from Monday to Friday 9am-5pm and I kept my Sat-Sun my free days. I only worked on weekends if I had an important speaking engagement
β
This 2021, my word for the year is RECEIVE. I love this word and I feel that after God invited me to relax in 2020, He is now inviting me to learn how to receive.
β
By nature, I am more of a giver than a receiver. In the Enneagram Test, my personality is a Helper. It means that I love to give and help and serve.
β
Whenever I meet someone in a seminar or an event, my default questions would always be⦠How can I serve this person? What can I give this person?
β
When a friend sends me a surprise gift, my default was, “What can I give back in return?”
β
I remember when I celebrated my birthday in 2020. The question I asked myself was, βWho can I send gifts to? Who can I make happy today?β
β
And then I remembered itβs my birthday so I told myself to RELAX, chill, and let God surprise me.
β
Giving is deeply embedded in my system. This is good. But there has to be balance. I feel I also need to learn how to receive.
β
That’s why I am so grateful that when I prayed about my word for the year, the word RECEIVE kept popping up for so many days and the word resonated with me.
β
I am embracing RECEIVE as my word for the year for 2021.

β
How about you? What is your word for the year?
β
How do you know your word for the year? Through prayer. That’s how I discerned mine.

P.S.Β Success is not built overnight, but over time. I’d love to journey with you!
β
I have developed some habits through the years that have helped me become happier as a person as well as excel in my profession. These are the same habits I teach insideΒ Thrive University, a group online mentoring and mastermind program for entrepreneurs and high achievers. At Thrive University, we get to meet each other virtually every month!
I will open the registration to Thrive University on January 14, Thursday. Watch out for it! π
β
P.P.S. I am sooooo grateful for your replies to my latest email re my 2020 Year In Review! Thank you! I enjoyed reading them. I wanted to reply to ALL the emails but I couldn’t keep up with the hundreds of email responses we received. Sorry! οΈ
β
The good news is… I was able to reply to most emails, especially those that needed my personal reply.
β
Some of the frequently asked questions in the emails I wasn’t able to reply to included – how to zero out credit card debts, how to invest, how to stay motivated, how to be productive, how to speak with confidence, how to write a book, etc.

I’ve answered these questions in my YouTube channel. You can subscribe here and watch the videos I prepared for you: https://bit.ly/SubscribetoShaNacinoTVβ
