A year ago, I set 5 resolutions/goals: finish my PhD dissertation; do a ‘century’ (100-mile bike ride); qualify for powerlifting world championships; be able to converse in Spain and Portugal during our vacation; and be in better shape (mentally and physically at the end of the year).
Well, due to some setbacks beyond my control, I’m still working on my dissertation, so that goal carries over to ‘26. I didn’t do my century although did do more miles than the previous 10 years. I qualified for the world championships, but didn’t compete as my wife was injured. Despite almost everybody in Spain and Portugal speaking English, I still managed to converse as needed. And yes, I’m in better shape now and look forward to the new year.
So, here are my goals for 2026: finish my dissertation; qualify AND win powerlifting world championships, setting at least three world records; finish my second book; complete my first Misogi (not sure what it will be yet); and gross $1M in income. That’s all…
What about YOU? What are your goals/resolitions?
