What should you focus on in 2025?
Welcome to the Ryan League podcast. Happy New Year, everybody. I am so glad that you're here. I'm not sure how 2024 went for you. Maybe you had some incredible wins, or perhaps there were some disappointments, perhaps some setbacks. You know, one of the things that people ask me about often is my approach to the beginning of the year. You know, there are some people that choose a word for the year, and I think that's great. But today, I'm going to give you something that I think could shape your year in a way that I think you'll look back on and be very proud of. And here's the good news. It doesn't require learning anything new. Yeah, it doesn't require you going back to school. It doesn't require you reading another book.
It doesn't require you to learn anything new. You know, it's interesting. I was working out with my personal trainer the other day, and we were talking about his approach to the new year. And I said, hey, man, what are your goals for 2025? He said, what are you talking about? I said, come on, man, what are your goals? He said, I'm going to continue doing what I always do, which is eat healthy and work out all the time. He's like, I'm going to continue doing what I already know. And so on today's episode, the big idea here, the thing that doesn't require you to learn anything new is it's making 2025 the year of application. Here's the good news.
How can applying what you already know change your life?
If you didn't learn one new thing this year, but applied everything you learned in 2024, this could easily be the best year of your life. Just think about that. We're just talking just everything that you learned last year. If you applied it this year, this could easily be the best year of your life. What do you know that you don't do? My friends, we got a lot of things that we know that we don't do. Think about it. What do we already know? We know we need to eat better. Come on. Come on, you know. Not just because it's trendy, but because our bodies thrive when we fuel them well. But let's be honest. How often does a number one from Chick-fil-A with a lemonade sound 10 times better than a dry chicken salad with water?
Come on, you know that sound way better. So what happens? We know we need to eat better, but then we find ourselves in a drive-thru talking about, so let me get a number one, hold the pickle, throw lemonade in there, large fry. I want you to add a little brownie to it too. And then for some odd reason, we think we're healthy because we say, yeah, and then I'll do a side, throw a little kale salad in there too. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Come on. We know better, but we don't often do better. What else do we know? We know we need to save more and spend less. That's not a groundbreaking revelation for 2025. But how many times do we walk in Target looking for some eggs and walk out with a couch? How many times have we ordered something on Amazon we did not need because it felt good in the moment and Amazon Prime could get it there before 5 p.m. if you order it before 11 a.m. ? We know that we need to save more and spend less, but sometimes we just, we don't. What else do we know?
We know we need to prioritize relationships. We know we need to be intentional with those relationships. How many times have you heard that you should pick up the phone and call someone you care about, but you don't? Instead, we just like their social media posts and convince ourselves that that counts as some sort of connection, but we know it's not real connection.
What do we often ignore despite knowing better?
We all got those friends that can't pick up the phone, but they'll DM you. It's like your phone work. We know great relationships require intentionality, but sometimes we just are on autopilot on our relationships. If you're married, well, what do we know about marriage? Well, if you want to have a good one, you got to plan date nights. It's not rocket science, but when you plan date nights, well, it can help your marriage. But how often does a busy schedule make us just push it to the next week and then the week after that and then the week after that? Before you know it, you've had months without any romance because you didn't do what you already know. If you're a parent, what do we know about parenting?
