Unclench Your Fists: A Mid-Year Reset for the Second Half of 2026
Hey everyone! Happy July 1st. We have officially crossed the bridge into the second half of the year.
If you look back at the last six months and feel like things haven't moved as fast or as smoothly as you hoped, I want you to take a deep breath. Today is the ultimate day for a fresh start.
There’s an old saying: "If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got." But as I’ve been reflecting on this today, I realized the deeper truth of why we get stuck in those old patterns: We are trying to receive our future with a tight grip on our past.
Think about it. To receive a gift, your hand has to be open. But when we slide into fear or scarcity mode, our hands instinctively ball up into fists. We hold on for dear life to what is familiar and comfortable, even if it’s keeping us small.
In our businesses and lives, that tight grip usually looks like:
- Staying in a stagnant zone or holding onto old strategies longer than we should because they feel "safe."
- Entertaining professional relationships or ideas well past their expiration date.
- Saying yes to clients or opportunities covered in red flags just because we’re afraid the next one won't show up.
We often view letting go as a loss. But what if letting go is actually a gift? When your hands are clenched around yesterday, you lose the ability to see and grab the opportunities right in front of you. And remember, new opportunities rarely arrive fully formed and magnificent. They arrive as seeds.
Sometimes those seeds look a little straggly and unimpressive. They require us to open our hands, take them in, nurture them, and allow them to mature. But you can't cultivate a new seed if your hands are full of old baggage.
As the Bible reminds us in Philippians 3:13-14: "...forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal..."
To step into the abundance, flow, and favor waiting for you in the rest of 2026, you have to release the grip. Unclench your fists. Your hands need to be empty to receive what is next.
For me? I am officially letting go of the need to know the entire end result before I take the first step. It’s scary, but I trust that God has always kept me, and He will do exceedingly abundantly above all I can imagine (Ephesians 3:20). This entrepreneurial journey takes time—seeds take a while to germinate—but the breakthrough is worth it.
