It's that T.I.M.E of the week again!

Actionable life lessons to a wealthier, healthier, and happier you.

Lessons From 2026!

At the end of every year, I like to take stock of the lessons learned from the previous year to carry forward with me into the new year. I sat down with my family to gain insights into what they took away from 2025, and compiled a list of the lessons that stood out to us to take into 2026.

1. Your life can change at any moment. Don’t take it for granted. Squeeze every drop out of life, before the juice dries up.

2. By the time you hit 30, you know who “your” people are in life, treasure them, prioritise them, and nurture those relationships.

3. Slow down. Slow is great. Great is fast.

4. Protect your peace. You don’t have anything to prove to anyone.

5. Remove expectations from people, and you will never be disappointed.

6. Say “NO'“ more.

7. Take the risk. The best time to start was yesterday. The second-best time is now.

8. You don’t need a lot to be happy. Happiness comes from presence, perspective, and appreciating what you already have.

9. Your health is everything; without it, you have nothing. Make it a priority. When you have your health, everything else is a problem. When you have a problem with your health, you only have one problem.

10. Some things are better left unsaid. Let go of what you can’t control.

11. Listen to your gut. Intuition exists for a reason and rarely speaks without cause.

12. Live with integrity. Always do the right thing. Only you know how you act when noones watching.

13. Do hard things. That’s how you build resilience and respect for yourself.

14. Deal with your internal unresolved issues. Suppression is not the same as strength.

As a thank you from me to you. Here is my 30 day Journal guide. This has helped me immensely in my life to identify the areas I need to work on and form positive habits going forward. Here’s to a great 2026!

My top two podcast hosts. World number 2# chatting to world number #8 about all they’ve learned in life up until this point. Raw, honest, and relatable.

Loads of nuggets in here to take into 2026.

May you carry some of these lessons with you and apply them to your life this year.

Life waits for noone. Get after it.

I’ve recently started studying AI. I’m very much still a rookie.

Today I learned Suno!

Suno is an AI website that allows you to create music. You copy in the lyrics and choose your tone and style, and it generates the audio.

There is both a paid and an unpaid version.

Finally, a very happy New Year from me to you. Wishing you a prosperous 2026!

Here’s a cheeky track I made from Suno to you. Check it out!
