Happy New Year, {{first_name}} !!
2026- A New Year. A New Aim.
Have you already written goals for the new year?
Do you have a vision for who you'll be 52 weeks from now?
The new year is a classic time for reflection, goal setting, and resolutions.
Like you, I’ve taken some time this week to reflect.
What do you really want in 2026?
Let’s talk goals 👇
⚡ F5 Fast Files (the short version):
Goal setting is a principle of truth, not just self-help
Most resolutions fail because of the lack of process, not desire.
Consistent actions > outcomes
Eternal goals are the only ones with a 100% success rate
📜 Goal Setting is a Principle of Truth
We see the pattern of goal setting everywhere—consider this scripture sequence:
“For this is my work and my glory—to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.” — Moses 1:39
"We will go down, for there is space there, and we will take of these materials, and we will make an earth whereon these may dwell." --- Abraham 3:24
“For I created all things spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth.” — Moses 3:5
“All things which I had made were finished, and I, God, saw that they were good.”
— Moses 3:3
What we’re seeing is that God had a goal, made a plan, and carried it out. Does "set goals and make plans to..." sound familiar to anyone??
That’s creation.
Goal setting isn’t a self-help strategy—it’s a divine pattern.
📉 The Problem with New Year's Resolutions
The stats aren’t encouraging:
92% of resolutions fail
80% are abandoned before February
Yikes! If I offered you an investment opp with an 8% success rate… would you take it? Not likely.
Yet every year, millions of men step into January hoping this time will be different— "this is my year!" but they fail to change their systems, hence 92% fail.
🧠 What Actually Helps Goals Stick
You already know the tools:
SMART goals
Atomic Habits (make it obvious, easy, attractive, satisfying)
Preach My Gospel, Ch 8
They’re all saying the same thing:
Set goals. Make plans. Write it down. Schedule it. Act. Review. Follow up.
A few powerful stats:
Written goals are 33% more likely to be completed
Weekly accountability increases success by another 43%
👉 This is exactly why we created Momentum Tactical Planning and Man’s Mastery Planner for our F5 brothers—to help men move from intention to execution.
🎯 Focus on Actions, Not Results
As you step into 2026, anchor your focus on what you can control.
You can’t control how many sales you close
→ but you can control how many calls you makeYou can’t control winning the championship
→ but you can control how you trainYou can’t control whether she says yes
→ but you can control your standards and the man you’re becoming
Results follow actions.
⏳ What Matters Most
Let me leave you with this counsel:
“What matters most is what lasts longest.”
That's why we ordered F5 this way:
Faith
Family
Fitness
Finance
Fun
No earthly program has a perfect pass rate—even if you execute flawlessly.
But 100% of the people who live the gospel of Jesus Christ make it home.
That's God’s goal.
When we align our efforts with His, we cannot fail.
Here’s to your AMAZING 2026! Let your process lead to progress.
What’s God calling you to achieve this year? Ask Him and let’s go get it!
