HAPPY NEW YEAR!

As each new year approaches, I think it’s common for us to want the new year to be better than the last. Although hope is good, most of us hand it over to fate to deliver us this new and improved circumstance. In reality, it’s an empty and futile wish with no substance behind it. My question is what are we going to do to make it better?

William James wrote that one of the greatest discoveries of his time was that mankind can improve their circumstances by improving their thoughts. Circumstance follows thought as night follows day. We inherently take our circumstances to higher places by raising our thoughts to higher places. This places us back in control and, in fact, directly responsible for how our new year turns out.

We might be comfortable with the level of our thoughts, but the various successes we might desire can’t exist there. Success doesn’t visit those places. At that point, we become enemy to our own cause.

Hoping to feed our mind with the same material we did last year while expecting better results is like jumping off a cliff and hoping to fall upwards. It’s simply not going to happen.

James Allen wrote, “Mankind is anxious to improve their circumstances but unwilling to improve themselves. They therefore remain bound.”

In our industry, or in fact any industry. many wait for circumstances to perfectly align - waiting for those thousand points of light to come together. How long are we going to sit and wait, hoping for this mythical set of circumstances to miraculously show up? As a result, many die with their dream yet unborn. Please, don’t let that be you!

Those who succeed understand that circumstances are never ideal, but they start anyway, creating the right circumstances as they go. They understand that crafting the right circumstances, often from messed up places, is simply part of the responsibility inherent in pursuing dreams and goals.

If you’re breathing and above the ground, this is the time you’ve been given. The time will never be more perfect than now. NOW is your time. Don’t waste it.

So, as we enter the new year, my question to you is simple:

Are we going to wait and see what fate deals up? Or are you going to create your own circumstances? We craft our circumstances by crafting our thoughts.

If we want 2025 to be better than 2024, we must take our thoughts higher than we did in 2024. There’s no way around it.

If we set powerful New Year resolutions but leave the same old lawbreaker in charge, how long do you expect that resolution to last? Tell your thoughts; there’s a new sheriff in town!

Flood your mind with the highest thoughts able to tenant the mind of mankind, and as you do, the various successes you’re pursuing will start showing up and bringing their friends. The underlying message of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich is exactly this.

Is 2025 going to be better than 2024? That’s up to you.

2025 is in your hands. You’re in charge - not fate.
Don’t wait. Create.

I hope you choose to make it awesome!
