Today's Word 👉 Culminate

Sponsored by

For our final edition of the year, we bring you a word that says it all: Culminate. Thanks for reading, sharing, and growing with us. Here’s to a bold and brilliant 2026!

Cul·mi·nate (verb): To reach a decisive or climactic point after a gradual build; to end in a high achievement, final effort, or meaningful completion.

Writing in Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now, Maya Angelou looks back on a life shaped by steady effort and purposeful completion.

“All great achievements require time. They are not sudden—they culminate.”
_{— Maya Angelou, Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now}

SMARTER INSIGHT
To culminate is more than to finish—it’s to complete with power and purpose. As Angelou reminds us, worthy things take time, and the final act should reflect all that came before. A strong ending isn’t rushed—it’s earned.

USE IT TODAY
Choose one thing to culminate well this year—a project, a habit, a conversation. Finish it with intention, even if it’s small. Let your final move reflect your growth, not your exhaustion.
