BUILD — 2026 As a new year begins, I’ve chosen a single word to guide how I approach the months ahead:

BUILD.
Not hustle.
Not grind.
Not chase.
Build — intentionally, patiently, and with purpose.
Over the years, I’ve learned that real progress doesn’t come from moving faster. It comes from building the right foundation first.
Starting With the Foundation
Before focusing on goals, growth, or outcomes, I’m prioritizing what matters most to me in 2026: faith.
This year, my intention is to deepen my relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit — through daily prayer, time in Scripture, and living out those values in everyday decisions.
There’s a verse that captures this mindset perfectly:
“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”
— Psalm 127:1
For me, BUILD doesn’t mean doing everything at once. It means building correctly — with the right priorities in place.
Personal Growth I’m Working Toward
From that foundation, I’m focusing on a few personal commitments that shape how I show up in my work and relationships:
- Reducing stress by trusting the process and letting go of unnecessary control
- Being more intentional with my words, responding thoughtfully instead of reacting emotionally
- Sharpening my decision-making, slowing down enough to think clearly and act wisely
These aren’t overnight changes, but they’re the kind of improvements that compound over time.
What I’m Building Professionally
On the business side, 2026 is about structure and sustainability.
My focus is on:
- Building systems that don’t rely on constant oversight
- Creating clearer onboarding and training processes
- Finishing and refining tools that provide real value with transparent pricing
The goal isn’t just growth — it’s building something that lasts.
Financial Stability as a Priority
Financial health is part of responsible stewardship, and I’m approaching it intentionally this year. My focus is on:
- Reducing debt
- Rebuilding consistent, recurring income
- Establishing an emergency fund that supports long-term stability
Stability creates space to build with confidence instead of pressure.
Looking Ahead
BUILD is a reminder that meaningful progress doesn’t need to be rushed. It’s something you return to daily — through consistent effort, clear priorities, and faith in the process.
As 2026 unfolds, my goal is simple:
to build what matters, on a solid foundation, one step at a time.
BUILD — 2026.
