Let’s be real … we all have goals.

If you didn't, you wouldn't be reading this post.

But most people never even achieve the goals they set out to accomplish.

Why?

Simple. Poor planning & a lack of execution.

But I have good news for you…

It doesn't take superpowers or special abilities to accomplish your goals.

You just need to plan far enough ahead, and be 100% committed to the outcome ... no matter where the journey or obstacles take you along the way.

In this article, I will explain what separates the people who reach their goals from the people who never achieve them ... and why you should start planning your 2026 goals right now.

How to Decide On Your Goals

First off, in order to work toward your goals, you need to set goals.

The only way to come up with these goals, is to actually want better for yourself than what you already have.

That part is easy, right? Of course ... We always hear people talk about what they "want".

Here’s the truth ... Most people never even come close to those goals, because they aren't really their goals.

They're somebody else's idea of what "success" looks like, or what they see somebody showing off on Facebook or Instagram.

See, the only way to be truly committed to your goals, is to figure them out for yourself ... and most importantly, know WHY they're your goals in the first place.

If you can't attach a meaning to your goals, you definitely won't overcome any adversity to achieve them.

Remember, your goals will (and should) require a lot of work.

Not just some days … everyday.

Here’s the takeaway ... figure out your 2026 goals for yourself, and really think about why you want to achieve them in 2026 … then work for them!

The Difference Between "Wanting" and "Committing"

There is a huge difference between people who just want to accomplish their goals, and people who actually take control of their situation and make sure nothing can stand in their way.

Just "wanting" to achieve your goals is rarely anything more than talking about doing extravagant things, without ever really taking any steps toward completing those tasks.

Or, working toward our goals while it's fresh and fun in our minds, but folding as soon as we're faced with any sort of adversity whatsoever.

The truth is, you can think about, dream about, and even talk about doing great things, but until you ACTUALLY DO them, they mean nothing.

Committing to becoming the best version of yourself, despite the social pressures, stress at work, or even your own fear of not succeeding, is the only way you're truly going to create the life you want, and accomplish your goals.

A great way to do that, is through my mental toughness program, 75 HARD, that you can utilize ... for FREE! That's right, you can stop "wanting" and start "committing" to change in 2026 with the #1 mental toughness program on the planet!

Tap Here to check out the 75 HARD program ... and get a head start on your 2026 goals right away!

Why Should You Be Setting Your 2026 Goals Today?

Most people react to a situation, event, or something in their life ... only to be left behind because they didn't take charge and dictate the outcome.

This is why those people never actually accomplish what they set out to do.

As mentioned earlier, you must truly commit to achieving your goals, and capitalize on any amount of time that you have available to you.

That's why, if you want to ACTUALLY achieve your 2026 goals, whatever they may be, you should start setting them and working toward them today.

There's no rule that says you have to wait until January 1st to start working toward becoming a better version of yourself.

In fact, the reason people say they'll start on January 1st is so they can wait just a little bit longer before they actually have to put in the work.

It's because most people are lazy.

So, why not get a jump start on your goals, and your competition, and start setting (and working toward) your goals right now?

Think about how much further ahead you will be from everyone else, simply because you decided to commit to change sooner than them, and are willing to do what nobody else is?

The answer: They'll never be able to catch you!

Start working toward your 2026 goals today!
