Life is the goal ... time to achieve it in 2026
I listened to a Jim Rohn video on YouTube last week and ... just wow! The universe was definitely talking to me and took notes. Below are some key points. I will apply my own thoughts as well. The promise I'm making to myself from here on in is TO DO BETTER and kill the negative thinking
Self-Improvements Daily!
This has been very much the goal since 2024. Going into 2026, the mission continues. Keep doing the daily grind. Keep putting in the work. 1% better every single day.
Keep feeding the mind good things, because what goes in is what comes out. So absolutely no more nrop.
Detach From Your Past Failures!
I must not keep beating myself up for all the dumb sh** I've done in my past. I never did get to process what happened to me at HTH, and it burned a deep scar in my psyche. At some point, that event and all the bad jobs and layoffs/terminations and what-not have got to get buried. Time to build new patterns and set new standards.
What Is Ahead Is More Important Than What Is Behind You!
As the saying goes, the windshield is larger than the rear-view mirror for a reason. Looking forward is where the potential is at. The past is passed. It served up many many lessons. Time to bury that m**f**r and keep moving forward.
Stop Comparing Yourself To Others
The only person I need to compare myself to is the person I was previously. Gone is the 15 yearold who had no real father or role model to look up to. Gone is the 25 yearold who learned to love his job and his girl, only to lose both that same year. Gone is the 30 yearold idiot managing marriage, fatherhood, and a new career after so many failed attempts at transitioning out of food service into something different. And gone is the 40 yearold still making the same careless mistakes but failing forward. The goal is to keep going, keep growing, and keep learning. Still waiting to find my purpose.
Make Sh!@#$ Happen .. Get Sh!@#$ Done!
I love this saying. It has been my mantra since the day I started QA. It never fails me. It reminds me to keep the momentum up, own the mistakes, avoid losing focus.
Make A Decision & Stick To It!
Indecisiveness is weakness. Better to make the decision and learn from the outcome than to be insecure. Insecurity was in fact the biggest thing that hurt me at SI. That and ego .. thinking I was ready when clearly there was so much more I needed to learn.
Always Respond With Calmness & Clarity!
As I get older, I'm learning to detach more and more. Not everything is a hill worth dying on. Best approach is to react with steadiness and avoid any emotional outbursts. Still waters run deep.
Exhibit High Performance Thinking For Optimal Results
This will be an area I need to improve. There are times my head is far from where it should be. My mind is not always the steel trap. Gotta get better. The solution is to move with confidence and act with purpose.
Reconstruct Your Identity Based On Your Strengths!
Another goal for 2026 .. do better! Take the me I want to be and work on him. Work on my strenthgs and passions: Write more; mentor more; Do better; Be better; Keep testing; Stay disciplined.
Speak Positively!
I will keep reminding myself this quote, YOU ARE NOT YOUR FAILURES!!
It is time to tear down this lie .. the lie that I am a joke, insufficient, unqualified, incapable, uneducated, and inadequate.
I will believe in myself because he deserves it. My family deserves the best version of me, not some weak-ass rendition.
Failure Doesn't Define You ... It Refines You!
Pretty much this ^^
I'm done feeling weak. I will no longer accept mediocrity. I will work to improve my physical, spiritual, and emotional self.
