January 1st is just a date on the calendar. Nothing magically changes overnight. Yet for many, it represents a clean slate, a line in the sand. A moment to pause and say, “I want to do better.” That alone has value.
Whether people call them resolutions or goals doesn’t really matter. What matters is intention. People start thinking about their health, their relationships, their purpose, and their growth. That’s a positive thing.
The challenge, of course, is follow-through. Not because people don’t care, but because intention often fades without structure. Life gets busy. Old habits return.
This year, my focus isn’t about setting bigger goals, it’s on improving intention.
Being more intentional with my training. More intentional with my time with Kathy and my family. And more intentional with the initiatives that truly matter by treating them with respect, putting them on the calendar and making appointments with myself. If it’s important, it gets scheduled.
January 1st may be arbitrary, but the pause it creates is meaningful. When intention is clear and backed by action, real change becomes possible.
