Memorable Quotes: “And I remember just having to say no to a lot of things, getting rid of a lot of things that were probably pretty good things. But they weren't helping me make progress towards the most important things. So it began that journey of, as you say, simple changes that made a big shift or, in this case, a big difference in our lives.” “And that's part of the beauty of “One Word” is God will do things in your life. If you're open to it, you'll see things happen. You'll be like, man, I did not see that coming when I picked this word, and that's a beautiful part of it.” “We all have barnacles on us from life, whether it's what we're eating, who we're around, the thoughts we're having.” “Now some days are better than others. But when we count each day and there's no wasted days, we develop a heart of wisdom.” What You’ll Learn: How to implement the concept of choosing one word to permeate your year and give you purpose and direction.
This Episode Includes: The origin story of the One Word concept was born out of one challenging conversation with a friend. The first word Dan chose as his “One Word” in 2000 was “intimacy.” Jimmy learned about the “One Word” concept from Dan during an accountability group session and it immediately clicked. Jimmy realized he needed to let go of the noise and focus. Jimmy and Dan share a few words their children have chosen in the past like “overflow” and “due.” The duo shares how both of their families choose a word each year and make a painting of it on a canvas. Robin shares her word from 2021, which was surrender, and her new word for 2022. Dan and Jimmy coach Dr. Robin through the word she chose, “trust,” and how to implement it in her life. Dan and Jimmy talk about the six dimensions: physical, mental, spiritual, relational, emotional, and financial. They relate it to Dr. Robin’s four quadrants of wellbeing: mechanical, chemical, energetic, psychospiritual. It’s important to remember your “One Word” throughout the year so it truly saturates your entire year, not just January 1st. Dan shares that his word for 2022 is “rattle.” Jimmy is still praying about his word. Dan and Jimmy give several takeaways about choosing your “One Word” and how to implement it in your life. Three Takeaways From Today’s Episode: Don’t put too much pressure on choosing your “One Word” for 2022. Go through the process. Go through the three steps of looking in, looking up, and looking out to choose your word. Decide how you will ruminate on your word this year. Maybe it’s painting the word on a canvas and hanging it in your bedroom or maybe it’s buying a plaque with the word on it for your office. Whatever you choose, find a way to focus on your word throughout the year.
