Will you be real with yourself or will you stay the same?
This week yesLet me start with a question—are you really living the life you want? Was 2024 everything you ever hoped it would be? Is there more you hoped for?
Pause for a moment and think about that. Really think about it. Not the life someone else said you should live, not the life you’ve settled for because it was easier, but the life you truly want deep down—the one that lights a fire in your soul. That dream when you think about it, you look up. You take in a deep breath as your looking up and your thinking about the possibilities and the old weight seems to fall off for the duration of the Fantasy of the dream.
What do you really want in life?
What truly matters to you?
What are you willing to change to create the life you desire?
If you’re ready to answer those three questions honestly, then you’re ready to start living life with purpose—on purpose.
To those 50 and older…
Maybe you’re starting over after a divorce. Maybe your kids are grown, and now you’re wondering—what’s next? Or maybe you’ve spent years living a life that didn’t fulfill you, and you’re ready for something new.
The truth is—you can make the next chapter of your life the best chapter of your life.
No more fear.
No more excuses.
No more waiting for “the right time.”
The right time is NOW!
The days of living in regret or letting the past define you are over. Stop worrying about what you can’t control. Focus instead on what you can control—your mindset, your actions, and your willingness to believe in yourself.
Be consistent. That’s the secret no one talks about. Consistency is what separates people who dream from people who achieve.
You’re still breathing. That means you still have time. So don’t waste another season of your life sitting on the sidelines. Step out on faith and step into the life you were meant to live.
To young adults just starting out…
You’ve been told what to do your whole life—by teachers, parents, and people who never chased their own dreams.
I’m here to tell you—don’t let their fears become your fears.
The world has changed, and so have the rules. There’s no single path to success anymore. The old roadmaps don’t work. You have to be creative, flexible, and bold enough to make your own way.
You don’t have to follow someone else’s timeline. Build your dream at your own pace. And if it doesn’t work the first time—keep going.
The only thing that can stop you from reaching your dreams is you.
So don’t stop.
Dreams aren’t just about ideas—they’re about action. If you’re moving forward, you’re still in the game. But if you quit, you’ll never know what could have been.
And let me tell you this—it’s okay if your dreams change. Sometimes life has bigger plans for you than you imagined. Be flexible and trust the process.
The Real Secret to Change
So, how do you make real change in your life?
Be real.
Be real with yourself. Tell yourself the truth about what you want and what it’s going to take to get there.
Be authentic.
You are a one-of-one creation—there’s no one else like you. Stop hiding who you are to fit in or make others comfortable. Let the cards fall where they may. If people like you, great. If they don’t, that’s okay too. What matters is that you like you.
Love yourself.
Forgive yourself for past mistakes. Stop carrying the weight of regret. You can’t move forward if you’re dragging the past behind you.
Enjoy yourself.
Life is short. Don’t spend it waiting for someone else to make you happy. That’s your job. Take risks, chase your passions, and stop overthinking every decision.
No More Wasted Seasons
What are you waiting for?
Life isn’t going to wait for you. The choice is yours, 100%.
No one else is going to live your life for you. No one else is going to make your dreams come true. No one else is going to show up every day and do the work it takes to make it happen.
That’s your job.
But here’s the good news—you’re built for this. You have what it takes to create the life you want. All you have to do is start.
The First Set of Words to start for 2025
Dream big.
Stay consistent.
Be flexible Change is coming.
Let go of what you can’t control and what was. You are on A New path with New possibilities
You don’t know what you don’t know, so keep learning, Keep searching, and Keep growing. Your only limitation is in your mind and your self belief. You just have to keep on finding a way. There is Always A way. You just have to find it.
And most importantly—Believe… Believe with just the size of a mustard seed and let’s change our lives together. You really can do it… If you Believe you can.
I believe in you. And now that you’re believing in yourself more, I know it’s only a matter of time until I see you on the other side of your dreams.
No one else is going to do it for you. So Go Do it! Make this year, Your best year ever.
Love Always,
John Maurice
