A Perfect Thought for Kicking Off 2026

Change. But start slowly, because direction is more important than speed.
Paulo Coelho
by Skip Cohen

​Along with wishing everybody a Happy New Year, I wanted to share the quote above from Lou Mitchell's book, Positive Thinking. Sheila and I read something motivational every morning, and this is my new book for 2026. But it was what he wrote after the quote that was just as meaningful...

...The excitement of New Year's resolutions often makes us want to transform our lives overnight. However, meaningful and lasting change comes from understanding our true goals and taking deliberate steps toward them.

As you make plans for the new year, ask yourself: What direction do I truly want my life to take? Are my goals aligned with my core values and passions? What small, meaningful steps can I take today to make sure I'm moving in the right direction?


There's nothing more to add, except to wish all of you a wonderful start to the new year. For most of us, going into this weekend is the perfect time to kick back a little and just chill. It's the ideal time to ask that age-old question, "What do I want to be when I grow up?"

​Happy New Year!
