You ever notice that the finish line almost always is the same spot as the Starting line??? While 2025 is nearing a close, that finish line is immediately greeted but the Starting line of 2026! While most think of the end of the year as something to be sad about, I look at it as a time to reflect on my goals and how I met them. I never worry about getting older because another year went by. I worry more about not being able to see another year. All of my wrinkles, aches and pains have come from a life that has been lived. and a LOT of lessons learned along the way and a desire to keep living and learning. I have always lived my life to make sure that if today is my last on earth, I didn't waste a single minute. and everyone in my life knows how I feel about them. It would make me sad to think that I didn't do my very best everyday! So as 2025 is coming tomorrow and end. I am grateful for all of it. The good, the bad and the lessons learned. I look at 2026 full of wonder and amazement like a little kid looking at all the gifts under the tree. The opportunity that is front of me (and ALL OF US) is truly wondrous and exciting! I cherish all of you in these communities and want nothing but the best for you all! Finish 2025 like you started it. Full of energy and excitement. and Start 2026 even more energized for the future!! Today's outfit puts me in exactly that frame of mind!! Happy New Year!!

You're not always going to feel like showing up and doing the work. Most days you won't. Days when you're exhausted. Days when you're frustrated. Days when you're unfocused. These aren't signs for you to slow down... "Listen to your body"... ...or wait for tomorrow. These days are tests. Everyone can execute when they feel good. That’s the easy part. Winners have trained themselves to execute regardless of how they feel. They don't have it any easier than you do. Most days... They feel like crap, too. They just don't negotiate with their emotions. When their bitch voice shows up and tells them to "take it easy"... They shut it down by pivoting into productive action. If you can train yourself to execute on the days you don’t feel like it… Who could possibly beat you? The answer is very few. Pass these tests by making execution non-negotiable. No matter how you feel. No matter what you did yesterday. No matter what you plan to do tomorrow. Execute. Success is far less about what you do when you "feel like it"... ...and far more about what you do when you don't. ~ Andy Frisella
