My birthday just passed last week. It has become a more special day than in years past because of the late Dan Miller. He was the author of 48 Days to the Work and Life you Love. He based everything around the number 48. It was his signature in all he did. I was a member of his 48 Days Eagles group until his passing. One of the things he was big on was the last 48 days of the year. And it so happens that the day of my birthday is when the year also has the last 48 days left before the year ends. And as we are coming up on the holidays and the year closing on us, I want to ask you how you plan on ending the last part of this year.

How would you judge your year so far?

Are you happy with what you have accomplished?

How have you changed?

What has changed?

In this episode, I will go over 10 more ways to look forward by reflecting back on this year so far knowing it's not over yet. You still have time to make 2025 your best year yet as you prepare for the next one. With the holidays around the corner it's too easy to forget about your dreams and goals. Don't let that happen. You can have both a great holiday season while still working on moving forward with what is in your heart and mind.

Some of the points covered:

1. The Story You're Still Telling

Every dreamer narrates their own journey — consciously or unconsciously.

2. The Importance of Emotional Housekeeping

Before entering a new year, clean up emotional clutter — resentments, comparisons, self-doubt.

3. Vision Requires Revision

Sometimes your original dream isn't wrong, it's just outdated.

4. The Power of Recommitment

There's a sacred strength in saying, "I'm not done yet." Recommit to your why.

5. Accountability Over Excuses

Who have you allowed to hold you accountable this year — or who did you avoid because they would?

6. The Battle Between Fear and Faith

Every dream lives between what scares you and what calls you.

7. The Art of Forgiveness

Forgive yourself for not knowing what you know now.

8. Presence Over Pressure

You don't need to finish the year "proving" you're doing enough.

9. Remembering Your Why

Amid the noise of deadlines and disappointments, have you stayed connected to your purpose?

10. Preparing the Soil for Next Season

Before planting new dreams, till the soil of your mindset. Reflect, release, and reset.

And much, much more!
