The end of the year fills most men’s heads with new goals and dreams but sadly few do enough thinking, reenvisioning and rethinking. What if the activity before we leave 2025 is to become more instead of getting more by the end of this year point? I find it interesting how each year we get into the same rut — the pressure, the plan making, the promise making — but what a man’s life changes with is not what he resolves to do January 1st. It is what he resolves upon before the end of December 31st. Here are 10 things that you can do before we leave 2025 and plunge into the year 2026 with vigor, perception, and self-respect — the things backed up by the facts of science, wisdom and practicalities. 1. Audit Your Life, Not Just Your Year Before you set new goals, sit with your journal and ask: What drained my energy this year? What made me feel truly alive? This kind of reflection helps you align your direction with your truth. 📘 Inspired by : “ The Mountain Is You ” by B...

Every day, your brain acts like a detective—collecting clues, piecing together patterns, and confirming the story you’ve told it.
If your internal script says,
“Nothing ever works out for me,”
your mind dutifully finds examples to prove it true.
This is confirmation bias—the silent filter that shows you what you already believe.
🔍 Your Thoughts Are Magnets
But confirmation bias works both ways.
Ask your brain,
“What if things are working out for me?”
And suddenly, your senses open to opportunities, synchronicities, reminders.
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.”
– Henry Ford
Your thoughts aren’t fluff—they’re the blueprint of your experience.
💡 Change the Question, Change the Life
One book that dives deep into this is Mindset by Dr. Carol Dweck:
“Effort is what ignites that ability and turns it into accomplishment.”
Shift from “I can’t” to “I’m learning”—and your mind will seek examples of growth, not failures.
Another powerful guide is The Scout Mindset by Julia Galef:
“See things as they are, not as you wish they were.”
This invites you to notice what’s possible—not just what confirms your fear.
🌱 Practice This Daily Shift
1. Catch the Thought
When negativity arises—pause.
Brainstorm: “Is this absolutely true?”
2. Flip the Script
Find even ONE small sign of progress, kindness, or hope.
3. Reinforce the Positive
Celebrate it. Write it down. Let it sink in.
💬 Your Mindset Is the Lens That Shapes Your World
You don’t have to believe everything your mind whispers.
Instead, ask better questions.
Stay curious, not defensive.
Feed your mind the story that empowers you, not limits you.
“What you feed grows.”
Choose your story wisely. Choose growth over fear, curiosity over assumptions, and love over doubt.
