If you have read my stories in the past few years, you know I am not a resolutions guy. Mainly because come March, we have forgotten about our resolutions and have fallen back into the same old tired routines that don’t work. I prefer goals anyway but not having a dozen of them. The simpler the better in my world. Don’t say you are going to lose 80 pounds in the next year; start with making dropping five pounds your goal and on and on.
Two words though will help you get through 2026 that have been around forever and they are timeless. They are evergreen. They are solid. You want to know why? They never fail you once you apply them to everything. Just two words on whatever goal you are after.
Don’t quit.
Yes, that simple. Don’t quit.
Apply it to every single thing you do in the coming year. Want to lose weight and not seeing results? Don’t quit. Want to write a book but feel as if you are writing a bunch of nonsense? Don’t quit. Trust me on that one. Want to get a new job but you have sent out 100 resumes and not getting anywhere? Don’t quit.
Just don’t quit. Our brain is much like our stomach. You have to feed it so why not feed it positivity constantly? Stamp on your mind a picture of you accomplishing goals. You know we can’t control much in our worlds but we can control how we think and react. Just mentally stamp “Don’t Quit” on the front of your mind.
All of the self made billionaires will echo the same sentiments that you are reading. Quitting is not an option. When you quit, that guarantees one thing. You won’t come anywhere near your goal, or any goal. Also, it takes as much energy to be positive and keep going as it does being negative.
God has given you the blueprint for success and guess what, it is you! Here is to an amazing 2026 where you don’t quit and not only hit your goals, but smash them all.
