There are 3 Cs in life: choice, chance, & change.  You must make the choice, to take the chance, if you want anything in life to change.  Every year in F3 some of us have done the 8 Block planning for the next year.  An opportunity on one side to right out the things that are important to you & on the other side what you want to accomplish in the new year related to the 3 Fs.  In the middle of both of those is your 1 word for the year, my word for 2026 is “PREPARE”. I recently read a book “Strength to Strength” & it is a book about transitioning into the second stage of your life. In stage one many of us are so focused on acquiring things & success driven it becomes like an addiction.  As you enter that 2nd stage you start to want more, a greater sense of purpose. There is less opportunity to climb that corporate ladder to feed that success addiction & it does not feel as good when it does happen.  You start to search for deeper meaning & purpose to feed that addiction. Well that is where I am at. Over these next 3 years as I approach 50 years old, I want more true meaning in my life so in 2026 the word is Prepare to set the stage & get ready for what is that greater purpose. My challenge is to take inventory of your life, what is truly important to you & do you need to reset your definition of purpose & success.  Aye!
