Downhill

It is the last day of August 2026, and I am moving toward my goal of publishing a blog post every single day this year.

But we still have September, October, November, and December ahead of us—and we are moving into fall, my favorite time of the year.

College football is back. The NFL is back. The baseball playoffs are coming. The NBA will return. Premier League soccer is underway. Then we have Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

The year is heading downhill now, and it will pick up speed. Before we know it, 2026 will be over.

This is such a great time of year. It is an opportunity to pause, take a breath, and reset. Look again at the goals you made at the beginning of the year. Celebrate the progress you have already made, make adjustments where needed, and decide what you still want to accomplish.

There are four months left. That is plenty of time to make meaningful progress.

So, as August ends, take some time to reset your goals—and finish the year strong.

What did you start this year that you haven’t finished?

Here, I made this. My gift to you, for taking the time to read.
