The year ahead holds nothing on its own. Only the possibility of what you choose to create. What you bring into existence.

That is your opportunity…and it is *wide open.*

If you are healthy and motivated, you have a unique window *right now* in your life to do something big that changes the game for you, your family or your life…what will you do with it?

This edition is how to map the year forward. Ask yourself questions. Challenge yourself. Have a bit of fun and make what you want a reality.

Most people will enter 2026 the same way they entered every year before it: with vague intentions, the same tired resolutions, and a quiet hope that somehow things will be different. Don’t do that. Make it different.

Next year won’t be different, unless you make it different.

Here’s your chance to build that map…and how to do it. You may want to print this one out and work through it…Now, let’s get started.
