During my early-morning runs, I have been passing children waiting for the school bus, wearing new backpacks and fresh clothes, with parents making sure they have everything they need.

It took me back to the days when I was the one standing at the bus stop. I started thinking about the advice I would give that younger version of myself.

I would tell her that the most important decision was not what to wear on the first day, which classes to take, or where to sit on the bus.

The bigger decision was this:

Who do you want to become by the time the school year is over?

That question is not only for students.

Maybe you are helping your child prepare for a new school year while quietly thinking about something you want to change in your own life.

A business you want to start.

A healthier life you want to create.

A book you want to write.

A new direction you want to explore.

Picture yourself one year from today. What would you love to be able to say you started?

You do not need to have every step figured out. You may only need to make one clear decision, commit to the next small action, and begin before you feel completely ready.

In this episode of the Three Word Podcast, I share three words that could change the direction of your next year:

Decide. Commit. Begin.

What is one thing you are deciding to begin?

Share it in the comments. Naming it could be your first step.
