Time To Grow - Daily Thought With Coach Daly - Tues. 12-30-25 #1758

“Send Coach John a message”

Sitting here with my co-producer on my lap (our dog), I’m thinking about it being the end of another year and what is coming in the next year. So many thoughts going through my mind, but everyone’s mind. For me this is tying into my “one word” for 2026. It’s not the only word I will focus in on, but it will be one that will be connected to me more. It’s really two words, but I’ll call it one. “Focus” is the one word - and the second one that is connected to it - “Intentional”. This one word idea comes from Jon Gordon (@jongordon11) and his book “One Word” (@GetOneWord) and Getoneword.com This has to be a day by day choice. Moment by moment, and I know I need to put the work in on this more than simply talking about it. The first connection to this episode comes from Essential Mastery (@EssentialMastry) where this thought was shared and got my attention: “The most valuable asset you own isn’t money. It’s the ability to think clearly in a world designed to confuse you. Mental clarity is wealth.” This is spot on for me as I’ve struggled with it throughout my life. A second connection to this episode comes from Dear Self (@Dearme2_) where this very simple post got my attention - “2026 will be different. No more repeated cycles. It’s time to grow.” Again, my “focus” should be on the moment to moment, day to day, growth that I need to connect with; not just the entire new year. There is actually a third connection that I reposted just before this one from “Dear Self”. It comes from Your Best Version (@YourPrimePath) where this is shared: “Stick to the plan. Not your mood.” Way too often I let my mood dictate my thoughts and actions in particular moments. Even as I write this out and prepare to record, I’m catching my mind wanting to take me in other directions. It’s awesome to be able to catch those moments and change the direction of my thoughts. Well, all I can say is it's great to connect with this as I look ahead to the new year. The year that I’ll be turning 60. Thanks for listening.
