Bad news for 2024

Wednesday, January 3

I have some bad news for you. I know, you’re excited. It’s a new year. You have big goals and resolutions that you are sure you will achieve. You fully believe this is going to be your best year yet.

And I hope it is. I hope you do everything you set out to do this year and more.

The bad news? 2024 is going to be a year full of adversity. All sorts of obstacles and distractions are going to appear on your path. There will be a number of opportunities for you to quit chasing your goals, give up on your resolutions, and settle for another average year.

How do I know this? Because I know that the same thing happened in 2023, in 2022, and every year before. Each year is full of adversity. It doesn’t matter how excited or confident you are about your goals. It doesn’t matter how determined you are today. Adversity does what it wants.

Now that you know this, you shouldn’t be surprised when adversity hits. Which means you have two opportunities when it shows up on your doorstep.

Run from it

Run through it

Those goals and resolutions you made? Those habits you want to develop? Those dreams you want to accomplish? They are all dependent on what you do when adversity hits.

Be the kind of person who finds a way through.
