End of 2025 and Start of 2026
As we are on the final day of 2025, it was certainly a difficult year and I faced a lot of adversity, but it was all worth it because it was essential for my growth as a man of God and I was able to accomplish a lot of things this year. That’s why this year was a great one. As we are about to begin 2026, I don’t necessarily have quote-on-quote New Year’s resolutions/goals, because I do not want to jinx myself and burn out and mess up. At this point, I shall continue to focus on weekly goals and strive to achieve those every week so that I can make it reasonable and stay consistent and steadfast. The weekly goals I have now and the ones I will continue to have throughout each week will be essential for this year as a whole, so I shall continue to take it one day/week at a time to remain consistent. These goals are to: • Strengthen my relationship with God through constant prayer and deeper meditation on His word • Work out hard in the gym 5-6 days a week • Eat a healthy diet, consuming in reasonable portions for every meal • Work hard in college/work for success and advancements • Improve relationships with people that will support you with goals, including my brothers in Christ in here • Consume valuable entertainment that will aid in personal, spiritual, and career growth (reading, sports documentaries, finding my purpose, etc.) • Get proper rest at each night to ensure consistency and motivation Many of these good habits I have incorporated, and I shall continue to incorporate them one by one as time goes on. Especially since I had gotten into the book of Job, I am already experiencing the impact of the book, relating to His story and to know that I shall remain faithful in the Lord, no matter how difficult the road gets. Doing this will help me power through and to achieve success in anything I set out to do, and all this is possible with God. Especially since the enemy is tempting me to get off track and going in the wrong direction, I must make sure to remain steadfast and not allow myself to get distracted and give into temptation.
