Progress has very little to do with beginnings and endings, per se.
It really has almost everything to do with selection.
Selection is the real power.
You choose what stays in your life because it works.
You choose what you do because it delivers.
You choose what continues because it strengthens you.
Those are choices that feel solid and earned.
At the same time, you notice when something has completed its usefulness.
A habit finishes its job.
A routine runs its course.
An obligation delivers what it had to give.
That realization brings clarity and speed.
Energy flows toward what proves itself again and again.
And it values refinement over reinvention.
It favors strength over ceremony.
It treats life as something shaped deliberately—piece by piece—through attention and discernment rather than mere declarations.
That approach creates freedom!
You stop chasing novelty and start cultivating leverage.
You stop announcing intentions and start reinforcing results.
You move forward with continuity, confidence, and direction that compounds over time.
This rhythm suits me well—especially now. Christmas stays in my world—sometimes all the way to Russian Christmas. Good things deserve savoring. Traditions continue because they deserve to.
Carry forward what proves its value.
Expand what multiplies your effort.
Release what has completed its contribution.
That process strengthens your position wherever you apply it.
The world belongs to those who edit intelligently and build relentlessly.
And do so gleefully.
So go ahead and get for yourself the BEST of EVERYTHING.
Not just for the New Year.
Always.
Move forward boldly . . .
