Introduction Every year begins the same way for most people. January arrives with excitement, ambition, and big promises. Gyms are full, notebooks are fresh, and goals feel achievable. By March, that energy starts fading. By July, exhaustion replaces discipline. And by December, the same sentence returns: “Next year, I’ll do it properly.” The problem isn’t a lack of motivation. The problem is the absence of a sustainable strategy. Real progress doesn’t come from dramatic starts. It comes from calm consistency, repeated over time. If you want 2026 to be different—not just emotionally, but measurably—then you don’t need a complicated system. You need a clear structure that carries you through the entire year, especially when motivation disappears. Here is a simple, realistic way to approach 2026 so that you don’t just start strong—but finish stronger. Q1 (January–March): The Starting Point The first quarter is where most pe...
Viktor Frankl rightly said that "When we can no longer change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves".
Let us read one of my realization for a better understanding:
On a hot sunny day when I returned to my home after an exhaustive cricket session of 6 hours, I was sweating like a crazy man. I decided to make lemonade for myself and took out some fresh lemons from the refrigerator. As I started cutting lemons I got a call from one of my best friends. While talking to my friend I poured around 5 times more lemon than what was actually required. It was so sour that it can actually bring anyone back to consciousness from the state of unconsciousness.
Somehow or the other I had to correct it now. I wanted to remove the extra lemon from my lemonade but it was impossible. Because there are some things in life that can never be undone. So there was no way to remove extra lemons from the lemonade but surely there was a way to correct that mistake. The only solution available was to add 4 more glasses of water. Now instead of 1, I have 5 glasses of fresh lemonade ready to be served to 4 more people. And I think life is exactly the same. There are several things that may have been gone wrong in our life. Some wrong decisions, wrong choices, wrong investments, wrong words that we might have spoken can never be undone. It is not like that we must not try but we must give our best to correct those mistakes. But after having done what we can and when we cannot reverse things, still keep trying is just like attempting to remove the lemon from lemonade and I think that will be a sheer waste of time. Instead, we must try to add so many right things in our lives that those wrong things will look very small. Whenever problems seem beyond our control, rather than trying to remove them we must add more positivity in our life.
“We all have been provided a set of experiences in life,”. “The experiences are neutral. They have no meaning. This is how we interpret the experiences that give them meaning. Interpretations of our experiences shape our beliefs and theories about the world which, in turn, influence the way we live our life.”
“During difficult times, our emotions run the gamut: refutation, anger, rage, despair, numbness, isolation, desperation,” according to Laura Fenamore’s Tiny Buddha post. “In order to heal, we must feel. But we all have a say in what we do with our feelings.”
Easier said than done, of course, but we must try our best.
