The other day I came across a “fortune telling” word search post on Facebook.

It wasn't your average word search. You didn't have a list of words you were looking to find, simply you looked at the scrambled letters and the first three words that you saw would describe how your 2017 would be. I thought, “OK, I'll give it a whirl.” I was curious what vibes Facebook might be sending out and to see if the universe might actually be trying to speak to me.

The first word that I saw was “harmony.” I thought to myself, “Yeah that makes sense; I could use some harmony and balance in the coming year.” I'm currently at the transition of having just graduated college and figuring out what it is I want to do with my life. I'm listening to my head, my heart and my gut and they’re all are singing a different tune. So I could definitely use some harmony in the next year.

Then I looked at the scrambled letters again and saw the word “wisdom.” I again thought to myself, “Wisdom, I think that's good to have any year.” But I thought a little more about and realized, if I'm in this transition figuring out the next steps of my life, the next chapter in my life, having wisdom on my side might really come in handy.

The last and final word that I saw on the word search was “adventure.” This one made me smile. This past weekend I went into the city to visit my cousin and enjoy Christmas in New York City—it really is the best. Walking through the different neighborhoods I thought that I'd like to see more places; to have more excitement in my life on a manageable scale. Finding the word adventure as the last word seemed make the word and the potential behind the word more significant than the others. I know this is just some silly post a friend shared and I took a moment to indulge it. But maybe there are some kinds of forces swirling around Zuckerberg's empire telling me that I have an interesting year ahead.

The past few years have been really difficult. I've done a lot of growing up. I've learned some hard lessons, but more importantly I've learned a lot about myself. Every year around this time I am contemplating my New Year's resolution. Naturally, the gym pops up in my head. I think, “Yeah I should probably start that process of working out and eating better to ultimately better myself and maybe feel good about myself.” But it's just a reoccurring resolution that get stuck somewhere at the bottom of the barrel of life.

However, this time those three words, those simple words, resonated loudly with me. Something rang true about those three words. Maybe because those are the words that I wanted to see, or maybe I'm giving those words more meaning than they really have. Whatever it is I'm going to hold onto it and I'm going to hold onto it into the New Year. Perhaps it's just a head game, but I'm willing to play it. Harmony, wisdom, and adventure— to me that sounds like a pretty enticing 2017.

I look forward to see if my year has loud moment of harmony, wisdom and adventure, but more importantly I want to see if I can live up to those words.
