I want to become reliable.

To make my word be my bond. To have faith in myself that if I say something is going to happen, that I will follow through. This is a challenge inspired by the Daily Stoic.

Selecting one virtue to live up to for the whole year. Sounds simple enough right? Well I certainly don't see it going fully to plan. I'll mess up, I'll fall short, but in the end I will be further along then ever before.

What is a virtue you would choose to live up to in 2025?

Let's keep everything simple, and make progress one step at a time.

Did you hit all your goals this year?

Setting up New Year's Resolutions can feel demotivating. You have so much time to make progress but in the end it sometimes feel like you've done nothing. For myself I failed to hit a decent number of my goals this year. So why am I happy with them?

The progress I have made in my life has been because I've set a direction. I gave myself something to work towards. I may not have hit everything, but I am so much closer to them now than I was before. You likely have had a similar experience. You feel bad missing a goal. Yet you can appreciate how far you've come.

The ability to set goals is a skill. One that you can develop with practice and self-understanding. Don't let missing a goal prevent you from setting them. Setting the goal is only half the battle. Your efforts determine the rest.

Let's keep everything simple, and make progress one step at a time.

Has your personality changed?

The idea of who we are is meant to grow with us. Who you were at 15 is different than who are at 20, or 25. Because your sense of self can get shaken up we have to know how to find it again. This is something everyone goes through. The early life crisis, the quarter life crisis, etc. It feels like a crisis when you can't escape the changes to come.

But that's a good thing. When you can embrace change you can embrace the new you. The new self-confidence. The improved value compass. The deeper relationships. Change is inevitable. However, that doesn't mean you need to lose yourself to it. How do you think you'll change in your next season of life?

Let's keep everything simple, and make progress one step at a time.

How you spend your time shows what's important.

You can say one thing and then do another. When we are setting priorities what we do matters more than what we say. You can say you wanna get in shape. Yet never set foot in the gym. You can say you wanna connect with friends. And never give them a call.

Your priorities are a reflection of how you spend your time. That's why being honest with yourself is important. How are you spending your time?

We can't shy away from conversations around it. However, right now, we also need to focus on keeping spirits up. The spirits and hopes of those who are afraid. The disenfranchised. I'm not happy about the results of the US election, but I accept the results. I also accept that the real work has never ended. And we can't choose to opt out of fixing this system. The country can be better. We can all be better. So don't turn away from the present. In fighting for the common good, a rising tide can lift all ships. And we must be that tide.

Being called boring used to be an insult, but not anymore.

Today boring is a contrarian goal. To understand what gets you excited. Even if others find it boring. You shouldn't force yourself into one box or label. Instead, you should find what you want to pursue. And often chasing a goal with consistency can look boring from the outside. That's why there is surprising value in slowing down and letting boring be the goal. Because you can create outsized results, from plain old boring consistency over time preventing distractions. What's your brand of boring?

Let's keep everything simple, and make progress one step at a time.

3 out of 10 workers are estimated to quit this year, should you?

It sounds scary to say 30% of the workforce could be leaving their jobs within the next year. However, that isn't the right move for everyone. It might not be the right move for you.

We can miss the larger pictures when we get stuck in our own little world. Knowing that within your current job, you may not love it, but it may be the gateway to something greater.

Sometimes a lateral move is necessary. Other times, you need to leave the company because there isn't any upward mobility or room to grow.

But it comes down to your goals, your career hopes, and your personal situation. An unmarried 20-year-old will have a different situation than a married 35-year-old with 2 kids.

So quitting your job needs to be a decision you weigh carefully. Because there might be an opportunity staring you right in the face where you are now.

If you believe Gen Z is lazy, you've been lied to.

Gen Z is as lazy as every generation before us. Some of us are lazy, some of us are hardworking, and most of us fall right in the middle, just like everyone else. However, this narrative exists because of negative news cycles. Knowing that a negative claim gets clicks.

Ignoring that it's impossible for an entire generation to suddenly become lazy. Millennials were given the same treatment, same as Gen X, and so on.

Being "lazy" means something different to everyone. That's why it's important to understand your own situation first. Before you can make a judgment call on anyone else.

You can feel stuck in life when you can't get past discomfort.

Growing pains are a part of being a young adult. For Gen Z, we have to learn to get uncomfortable and forge ahead. Because life often happens through a bunch of curve balls thrown our way. And when we can get uncomfortable, we know we are pushing out limits for growth.

Don't let the fear of change stop you from diving into something new. Or embracing a new truth in your life.

You need hobbies in your life.

You might feel like you don't have any. However, that's not true. We all have some passion, some interest, some area or idea that we love getting to explore.

Hobbies don't all fall into a neat and simple box. And for the past two decades, hobbies have become more and more important. Hobbies not only allow you to learn they allow you to connect.

When you understand what your hobbies are, you understand where your community might be too.

Explore your interest. Go deep into your niche interest. Let your hobbies become a part of who you are because you are a sum of your experiences and interests.

Let's keep everything simple, and make progress one step at a time.

Is work-life balance possible to achieve?

In Short, yes.

Is it the right goal to work towards? That's the real question. You work to live. Which means, your job should fuel your life. If they are working together you can't have work and life opposing each other. For Gen Z having balance in our lives is important to our happiness. However, it is better understood as finding our own versions of harmony, within our lives. While that's different for everyone, it all rests upon the five pillars of a happy and healthy lifestyle: health, wealth/career, relationships, fulfillment/learning, and spirit. That's why we need to dive into, are we cutting ourselves short by OVERFOCUSING on work-life balance?
