Let this month be your reminder that time is neutral. It does not change you. Your choices do. Choose the thoughts that build you. Choose the people who respect you. Choose the pace that sustains you.

Most people start to coast this time of year. They tell themselves they’ll get serious again in January, that they’ve earned the break. But the truth is, how you finish this year determines how you start the next. Momentum doesn’t magically appear on January 1st. It’s built right now, in the moments when no one’s watching and everyone else is slowing down. The way you show up in these final weeks says everything about the kind of year you’re creating ahead. Because anyone can start strong, but few have the grit to finish stronger. So while others are taking their foot off the gas, you double down. You sharpen your focus. You look for leverage, the tools, systems, and strategies that multiply your results without multiplying your effort. Because winning isn’t about working harder anymore. It’s about finding your unfair advantage. So let me ask you this: What’s the one thing you can commit to finishing in these final weeks that will set you up for a powerful new year?

There is a version of you on the other side of this month that feels lighter, clearer, and more aligned. Move toward that person with intention. You do not need dramatic change. You need consistent truth.

📝 TL;DR New data shows ChatGPT’s user growth is cooling off, even as it remains the largest AI assistant by far. At the same time, Google’s Gemini is growing much faster, signalling that the AI race is shifting from raw hype to serious competition. 🧠 Overview A fresh market report estimates that ChatGPT’s global monthly active users are up around 180% year over year, but only grew about 5 to 6% between August and November. In that same period, Gemini’s monthly users jumped roughly 30%, helped by new features and better integrations. The message is clear: ChatGPT is still huge, but the easy growth phase is over and the real battle is now about retention, features, and day to day usefulness. 📜 The Announcement The report focuses on usage data through November 2025. It estimates ChatGPT at roughly 810 million monthly active users, with growth beginning to plateau in key markets like the United States. Meanwhile, Gemini’s user base is smaller overall but accelerating faster, with year over year growth around 170% and a strong boost in the last quarter from a new image generation model and tighter product tie ins. Rather than a collapse, this is being framed as a sign that consumer AI chatbots are moving into a more mature, competitive phase. ⚙️ How It Works → Monthly active users are still rising, just more slowly - ChatGPT is adding users, but at a far slower pace than in 2023 and early 2024. That suggests many of the most curious early adopters are already onboard, and future growth will be harder won. → Short term growth favors feature velocity - Gemini’s faster growth is tied to new capabilities and integrations that give people reasons to try and keep using it. In a crowded market, each new feature spike can move users around. → Market saturation is appearing in key regions - In some markets, especially in North America, most people who are likely to try an AI chatbot already have. Growth now depends on deeper habits, business adoption, and new use cases rather than pure novelty.

Give yourself credit for every step you took this year. Not the perfect ones. The honest ones. The ones that taught you something real. Growth often shows up as a shift in how you think, not just what you achieve.
