What are the key ideas for transforming your life in 2025?

Ryan Hanley 0:22
actually on a long drive and I've been thinking a lot about 2025. I've been talking to a lot of people about their goals. I've been talking to a lot of people who either are or work with high performers about what makes those high performers special. How do they separate themselves? How do they reach their Their goals, how do they reach the highest levels of whatever field they're in, whatever their expertise is in, whatever their practice is in? How do they get there? And so many others don't. What is that separating feature? I've also been thinking about how am I going to set up 2025 in a way that when I get done, I'm proud. 2024 was a very tough year for me personally. I flailed. I tried a lot of different things. I spent money on different projects. I invested time, resources, energy into projects that went nowhere. I came out of 2024 with a much deeper perspective on what success looks like for me personally. And as much as I'll be honest with you, I'm ready for 2024 to be over. Nothing's going to be different in 2025 if I don't make changes. If I don't take...

the lessons, the failures, the obstacles, the challenges, the setbacks, the sunk cost into things that just did not materialize. If I don't reflect on them and make changes in 2025, 2025 will be exactly the same. There's nothing special about 2024. It's a number. It's an arbitrary period of time that we set expectations on. And while It's easy to say, hey, I'm ready to turn the page in 2024. I'm looking forward to 2025. Nothing changes if I don't change. Nothing changes if we don't change. That's scary. Because what it means is nobody's coming to save us. No external force would be a differentiating factor in our success. It's all on us. And while that should scare the absolute shit out of you, it does out of me. It also creates...

infinite opportunity because you control your destiny just as I do. We all control our destinies in a way that is so profound, so amazing that with even small tweaks, with even small changes in habits, in routine, in focus, in energy, and what we give our time to, we can make massive, massive changes massive improvements in our life. I think, you know, not to get too philosophical, most of you know that I'm a Christian. I believe, I've shared this story in the past with you guys. About six months ago, this was over the summer of 2024, My son, who my kids go to a Catholic school, my older son has gotten very much into the religion aspect, right? I won't say he's like ready to go be an altar boy or anything. Probably won't be.

However, he has a lot of questions and he's very into it. And I think that's wonderful. He asked me, Dad, do you think that hell is really a fiery place below the ground? And I said, no, I do not. Regardless of what hell is, here's how I visualize it. I believe that at birth, God gives us the ability to be our max potential. He gives us a max potential, a max upside, what we're capable of and the impact that we're able to have on the world, the love, the positivity, the energy, the creativity that we're able to bring to the world. He gives us this max ability. And when we die, we are presented with that version of ourselves. And heaven... is when we're proud of how close we are. And hell is when we're shameful of how close we are. And that is a driving force in my life because what I think it says to us is it's all there for the taking. Maybe you grew up like me in a small, tiny town that was going nowhere with parents who loved me and did the best they could, but they didn't have a lot of resources. I didn't grow up with resources. I had to put myself through college.

I had to go get scholarships. There was no expectation for me going to college. Zero. Zero expectation from my parents that I would go to college. The day that I came home from school and said, Mom, I want to go to college. I'm going to start applying. Her response was great. And that's not a knock on my mother. I have a tremendous mother. Wonderful.
