These questions helped make 2025 my best year yet. Let’s use them to make 2026 even better together: 1. Be honest, would you want your future son/daughter to date someone like you? 2. Ask yourself “do I really want this, or do I just want others to see that I have it” 3. If you knew you couldn’t fail, what would you want to do? 4. What would have had to have happened by the end of 2026 for me to look back on the year and consider it a success? 5. Am I acting in alignment with my ideal self? If not, what habits/behaviours am I missing? 6. If you continue living exactly as you are for the next five years, where will you be, and are you satisfied with this reality? 7. What would I do this year if I wanted to make 85 year old me miserable? 8. What would 85 year old me wish I did more of? 9. If your life were a movie, what would the audience be screaming at you telling you to do? 10. In the last year, What did I expect to complete, but didn’t? Is this still an important goal of mine? If so, how can I make future follow-through more likely? 11. If someone told you “you’re a lot like your partner”, would this be a compliment to you? 12. Do you control your reactions, or do your reactions control you? 13. Are you using your energy worrying about your current results rather than your current trajectory? 14. If you lost your current job/status/following tomorrow, what would be left of your identity that you actually like? 15. If you were a fly on the wall at your funeral, what would be the 3 traits you want the people close to you to remember you for?
