Each year, as this season arrives, people express their expectations, emotions, and hopes for what lies ahead. The atmosphere is often filled with mixed feelings. For some, there is genuine excitement—still savouring the victories of 2025 and looking forward with anticipation to how the new year will unfold.
Some approach the new year with caution, determined to tread carefully and avoid setting their expectations too high. They strive to ensure that nothing goes wrong, doing all they can to manage what lies ahead.
Others carry disappointment and discouragement from the past year—2025 may have been especially painful, marked by loss in the family or the burden of chronic medical diagnoses affecting loved ones.
Perhaps 2025 brought its share of financial struggles, leaving you feeling as though you barely made it through, surviving by the skin of your teeth. Maybe you faced trials at work, encountered obstacles in your business or studies, or dealt with health challenges. For some, the year was marked by battles with depression or anxiety. The challenges can seem endless, and the list often feels like it never stops.
I’m not sure where you find yourself along this spectrum.
