When the new year rolls around, many people are quick to set goals and make resolutions. Unfortunately, this is often a distraction from the deeper work that we all have to do. There’s usually something that we’re hiding behind, something that we don’t want to look at, because we know that work will be hard… really hard. We’d rather focus on the shiny external work, rather than excavating the thing that’s really keeping us stuck. But what if life forces us to look at it? Isn’t it better to choose to do the work before it brings us to our knees? As we journey further into 2026, consider uncovering the thing that’s really holding you back. Hold it up to the mirror and bravely start excavating. You’re up to the task.
