what went well for you?

What went well for you in 2025?

It drives me crazy when I see posts about how “2025 was a year (not meant positively),” and it’ll drive me crazy in February when I see posts about how 2026 feels like a year, only a couple of months in.

No doubt some things did not go your way in 2025, and no doubt some things will not go your way in 2026. But why do we let these define the year?

I’m sure there were far more things that went RIGHT in 2025 than went wrong, if you really paid attention.

And are you sure that some of the things that did not go your way in 2025 weren’t actually blessings in disguise? Did you allow them to become something positive for you? Or did you sit in sadness that what you thought you were supposed to have/do didn’t work out the way you wanted?

I’m not suggesting that you ignore the lessons in the shortcomings of the year. I might be suggesting you don’t post all over social media how “bad” the year was–be careful of the energy you put out into the Universe, as 2026 might look a lot like 2025 in your eyes because of that energy. I might even be suggesting that you don’t need to post how great your year/life is–you just need to see it and know it your Self.

As we head into the final days of the year, think back about all of the beautiful moments, successes, blessings, and memories from the year, no matter how small they may seem.

Focus on what went well for you in 2025 and bring that energy into 2026.


See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC
