An oldie but a goodie. Once the thing has happened, it’s done. Accept and move on. You can’t undo a car accident. So as long as it is only a fender bender, we need to take these in our stride.

Aim For Amazing
Complain less. Keep your mind focused on what amazing would look like. What do you want? Not what you will settle for.
This is hard for most people. People know what they don’t want or what they are fine with. But it often takes some serious inner work to figure out what you truly want. Not what you’re supposed to want, but really, actually want.
Stop complaining and focusing on past grievances. Bygones.
Keep your mind focused on the future and the amazing components of your amazing life. You get what you think about most of the time.
Think slim. Think wealthy. Think kindness.
There are lots of great things to think about. Think about those things and those things exclusively.

Repeating Yourself
Make the changes in your life quickly. Make them permanent in your mind so there are no ‘ooops’ moments and you do the things you promised yourself you wouldn’t.
There is no need to live the same year 16 years in a row. Change yourself or change your circumstances. But actually do it.

Push Boundaries
Push yourself to get through your own mental blocks. And nudge at other boundaries too.
Don’t take things too far. But do push.

Do. Review. Continue.
Success can be this continuous loop of doing things, reviewing where they got to and then continuing with them into the next step or stage.
That’s it.
For greater success, do more reviewing. This is what really makes the difference and shifts the needle.
We can usually get things moving due to excitement, drive or sheer enthusiasm. But then things seem to stall a little.
Anyone trying to achieve their New Year’s resolutions will recognise this as week 2 or 3 of January. This is where enthusiasm and excitement are fading. Some things are going well but without continuous review, the weeks blend into one another.
Then you might think you’re doing better or worse than you are. By continually reviewing where you are at, you can be clear on how well things are actually going. Much better that, than drifting along blissfully unaware and not making the changes you wanted.

Routine
If your new goals can help you develop a solid daily routine, you’ll increase your chances of reaching your goals.
Set up your environment to win. Plan and schedule with calendars and alarms. Prepare your tools and resources the day before. It sounds so simple. It is so simple.
Put some effort in and you will reach beyond the stars!

Stay On Track
You know your goals. You have a plan. You’re tracking your progress daily. Now you just need to stay on track!

Push Yourself
Don’t let yourself off easy. Push yourself to reach your stated goals. Get up an hour earlier. Say no to the night of fun and stay in and plan your week and save your money.
Do the right thing. Not the most pleasurable immediate thing. Pleasure doesn’t mean you’ll be happy. And often pleasure comes with some corresponding pain – drinking with hangover, speeding with ticket, entertainment with loss of purpose.
Make yourself the best person you could imagine. Push yourself past the pain, the sacrifice, the complaining and the challenges. Become Unstoppable.

Change
Change, especially that which you need to work on, is rarely easy. But if you succeed, it will be well worth the effort.
It just doesn’t feel like it yet.
Keep going. Stay committed. 100%. (Not 70%, or when you feel like it).
It gets better with each win. Enjoy that feeling.

Stick To Your Decisions
You chose your goals for 2026. I hope you wrote them down. If you made them clear and specific, go back and review them. If you didn’t, go spend a few minutes refining them and putting in details and timeframes.
Then stick to your decisions. Do not waver. You erode your confidence if you do not honour your decisions.
