This post is a revision of a theme I’ve returned to in previous years, because the message is still timely, still necessary, and still uncomfortable for many people.
It’s been a few weeks into the new year, which makes now the perfect time to pause and assess—not to judge, but to reflect.
Ask yourself honestly:
Are you still keeping your resolutions?
Are you still committed to the changes you promised yourself just weeks ago?
If the answer is yes, well done. Momentum is earned, and you’re building it one decision at a time. Keep going.
If the answer is no, you’re not alone. In fact, most people have already abandoned their New Year’s resolutions by this point. Life gets busy. Motivation fades. Old habits reassert themselves. That’s normal, but it doesn’t have to be final.
Instead of quitting, reflect.
Were your goals too ambitious?
Not specific enough?
Dependent on “perfect conditions” that never arrived?
Here’s the more important question:
If there’s a change you still want to make, are you telling yourself you’ll start next year?
If so, that answer needs to be a firm no.
Waiting is the enemy of progress. Success is not tied to January 1st, a Monday, or the “right time.” It’s tied to action. Today. Right now. Most people stop because they think they missed their chance. They didn’t. They just stopped choosing.
Don’t let this be another year where good intentions quietly expire.
Choose one change. Define it clearly. Write it down. Then take the smallest possible step today. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Today.
You don’t need a new year to start fresh.
You just need the decision to begin again.
Every day is an interview. Show up accordingly.
