It’s Time

What are the dreams you have for your life? And a more important question is, have you given up on them?

No one sets out to be average or mediocre. When we were children we saw ourselves soaring with the stars. Nothing could stop us. We were going to the outer limits and then keep going.

So, what happened? Life happened, that’s what. Dreams are set aside for safety and security. Taking a big chance when you have a mortgage changes the situation. Fear grips you and retreating into the shadows looks very desirable.

It’s time to break free from the fear of failure. Your battle is in your mind and it can be won before you begin if you adopt the proper mindset. Be relentless. Quitting or running away is not an option.

Burn your ships that are moored in the harbor of life. It’s time. There is no going back…

Those Annoying New Years Resolutions

It has almost arrived. The New Year! I hope 2026 brings you health, fulfillment and growth. I also hope what you begin anew in the coming year continues beyond just 2026.

In the United States, multiple surveys have shown that anywhere from 31%-48% of adults set resolutions for the new year. It’s interesting to note that the percentage has been steadily declining for quite some time.

But whether you set them or not, here is a guaranteed way to be successful: Set one, only one, goal you want to accomplish and write it down. Review your goal multiple times each day. Keep it in the front of your mind.

After 90 days have an honest conversation with yourself about your progress. Be fair, but be honest. If you are on track, great! Keep doing what you’re doing. If not, simply adapt. Airplanes adjust course during flight due to wind and weather, so why shouldn’t we? Don’t beat yourself up if you aren’t where you want to be. You will get there if you really want to.

The other ingredient to add is a mindset of commitment. Be relentless with this one. It’s impossible to beat a person who refuses to quit. And remember to congratulate yourself for your success along the way.

You really can do anything you set your mind to…
