I chose the word: Growth. This word for me has multiple meanings behind it in that I want to grow closer to God, grow in His will for my life, and grow as a person moving on to the next chapter of their life. This resolution pulls me back to a Bible verse that a camp counselor gave me in a rough spot: Philippians 3:14, "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ."
People I envy almost more than anyone in the world are composers. Whether they wrote a soundtrack or a symphony or just a random song, I typically find myself jealous that I didn't write it. Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, John Williams, Danny Elfman, John Powell, etc. The list is absolutely ENDLESS. Music is my passion and to write a good piece is something I always want. Being an actor (and this is probably some kind of theater kid syndrome), we try to make every story a little bit more dramatic or epic. We want to have that jaw-dropping moment or surprise. We long to make people laugh (or cry). I can't pin something I lie about specifically, but there's always an aspect of truth that we like to bend to tell the better tale.
Oustanding! I LOVE your one word theme for the year: Growth. Many levels to this word-Many biblical references to this! I love the Philippians 3:14 verse. Remember to 're-visit' your word - especially next year when you are at college.
