  Speaker 1: Who do I want to become. It's not about the goal,
• 0:03
  It's about the growth you're willing to undertake in order
• 0:07
  to achieve the goal. Success is quiet mornings, late nights,
• 0:12
  and one hundred almosts before one yes. Success is choosing
• 0:17
  discipline on the day's motivation doesn't show up. Success is
• 0:22
  doing the work when no one's watching and no one's clapping.
• 0:27
  Success is walking away from what drains you so you
• 0:30
  can protect what grows you. The number one health and
• 0:34
  wellness podcast, Jay Sety Jay Sety. I was stuck, confused,
• 0:43
  and unsuccessful until I did this. What if I told
• 0:47
  you that one year from today you could wake up
• 0:50
  as a completely different person and the only thing standing
• 0:55
  in the way is the way you're thinking about this year.
• 1:00
  Most people never change their lives, not because they're lazy,
• 1:04
  not because they're untalented, but because they don't understand this
• 1:08
  one truth. Your life doesn't change in a year. Your
• 1:14
  life changes in the tiny decisions you repeat for a year.
• 1:19
  We waste entire years waiting for motivation, waiting for clarity,
• 1:24
  waiting for timing, waiting for confidence, and while we wait,
• 1:29
  the year quietly disappears. Here's an uncomfortable statistic ninety two
• 1:35
  percent of people never follow through on their New year goals,
• 1:39
  not because they don't want to change, but because they're
• 1:42
  using hope as a strategy instead of a system. But
• 1:46
  here's the inspiring part. One year is long enough to
• 1:50
  transform almost anything about your life, your body, your relationships,
• 1:55
  your career, your self worth, your habits, your emotional health,
• 1:59
  if you understand the science of real change. In this episode,
• 2:04
  I'm going to give you a twelve month blueprint that
• 2:07
  has helped millions of people transform their lives, a framework
• 2:11
  backed by psychology research and real human stories. And I
• 2:16
  promise you this, By the end of these thirty minutes,
• 2:19
  you will no longer fear the future. You will feel
• 2:22
  prepared to shape it. So let's begin. Before we talk
• 2:27
  about how to change your life, we need to talk
• 2:29
  about why most people don't. It's not a lack of intelligence.
• 2:34
  It's not a lack of discipline, it's not a lack
• 2:37
  of opportunity. It's a lack of a system. Let me
• 2:42
  tell you a story. A friends one told me, Jay,
• 2:45
  I keep trying to change and nothing sticks. Sound familiar.
• 2:50
  He'd buy new planners, he'd download new apps, he'd watch
• 2:53
  motivational speeches, and every year he ended up exactly where
• 2:57
  he started, exhausted and confused us. He wasn't failing, His
• 3:02
  strategy was failing in moments of temptation only three to
• 3:06
  five minutes. Motivation spikes and crashes. But systems, routines, environments, structures,
• 3:15
  they keep going long after motivation dies. So here's the
• 3:20
  first truth. Your life won't change when you try harder.
• 3:25
  It will change when you redesign the system you live inside.
• 3:30
  Let's build that system together. If you want a new year,
• 3:34
  you need a new default. Most people try to change
• 3:38
  their life using motivation. Science shows your environment drives forty
• 3:43
  five percent of your daily behavior, almost half your life.
• 3:48
  Let me give you a real example. I once worked
• 3:50
  with someone who could never stick to a morning routine.
• 3:54
  She tried alarms, apps, planners. Nothing worked. Then we changed
• 3:58
  our environment. We've re arranged her nightstand. We moved her
• 4:02
  phone to another room. We put her journal where her
• 4:05
  phone used to be. We laid out her gym clothes
• 4:08
  the night before, right next to her bed. We simplified
• 4:12
  her kitchen counter. Suddenly her identity matched her environment. She
• 4:18
  didn't become a disciplined person. She became a supported person.
• 4:24
  Here's what I want you to do. Here are some
• 4:25
  actionable steps for this year. Number one, redesign your morning
• 4:30
  and night anchors. These two thirty minute windows shape your
• 4:35
  entire day. If you understand this one thing, you can
• 4:40
  build discipline. Make the things you need easy to find,
• 4:45
  and make the things you don't want hard to find.
• 4:49
  You want to work out in the morning, make sure
• 4:51
  your gym clothes are easy to find. You don't want
• 4:53
  to have a midnight stack. Make sure those chips are
• 4:57
  hard to find. This leads us to number two. Remove
• 5:00
  friction from good habits. Make good habits easier than bad ones.
• 5:07
  So many of us make good habits hard to do.
• 5:10
  We make it hard to stay healthy because our snack
• 5:13
  drawers are full of bad snacks. We make it harder
• 5:16
  to work out because we subscribe to a gym that's
• 5:19
  thirty minutes away. We make it harder to be focused
• 5:24
  on our work because our desk is full of clutter.
• 5:27
  Number three upgrade your identity. Don't ask what goal do
• 5:32
  I want? We all go what gold do I want?
• 5:35
  Here's what I want you to ask instead, who do
• 5:37
  I want to become? It's not about the goal It's
• 5:41
  about the growth you're willing to undertake in order to
• 5:45
  achieve the goal. Success is quiet mornings, late nights, and
• 5:50
  one hundred almost before one yes. Success is choosing discipline
• 5:56
  on the day's motivation doesn't show up. Success is doing
• 6:00
  the work when no one's watching and no one's clapping.
• 6:04
  Success is walking away from what drains you so you
• 6:08
  can protect what grows you. Success is being patient with
• 6:12
  the process even when the results are late. Success is
• 6:16
  becoming the person your future requires, not the person your
• 6:21
  past expects. Here's the second truth. A year equals four
• 6:27
  seasons of learning. A year is long enough to learn
• 6:30
  a skill that can reroot your entire life, not a hobby.
• 6:35
  A skill skills change identity. Skills build confidence, skills increase opportunity.
• 6:42
  Skills compound statistic show learning a new skill reduces anxiety
• 6:48
  and depression by up to thirty four percent. Add out
• 6:52
  to engage in continuous learning reports significantly higher life satisfaction.
• 6:58
  Let me tell you a story. Once told me she
• 7:01
  felt stuck in her job and stuck in her identity.
• 7:05
  We made one shift. She committed to learning public speaking
• 7:10
  twenty minutes a day, just twenty minutes one year later,
• 7:14
  she was leading meetings, pitching ideas confidently, and interviewing for
• 7:19
  a promotion. The skill didn't just change your career, it
• 7:23
  changed herself perception. So here are practical choices that you
• 7:27
  can make this year. Pick one of these and master it.
• 7:31
  Public speaking, emotional regulation, networking, mindfulness, creative writing, financial literacy,
• 7:39
  communication skill. One skill can create ten opportunities. I think
• 7:46
  about all the skills I invest in every single year
• 7:49
  and how they've transformed my life. If you want to
• 7:52
  change your life in a year, learning one skill could
• 7:56
  help you accelerate and transform your tradress in ways nothing
• 8:01
  else could. Here's what I recommend. Do what I call
• 8:05
  immersion weekends. Spend a whole weekend attending courses, seminars, reading books,
• 8:12
  listening to podcasts about that subject. You will know very
• 8:16
  quickly what you want to invest in and what you
• 8:19
  want to spend more time on. Here's the truth. One
• 8:23
  decision can separate who you were from who you're becoming.
• 8:28
  One decision can end an old chapter and begin a
• 8:32
  better one. One decision can change your confidence forever, and
• 8:37
  one decision can rewrite your entire story. All it takes
• 8:43
  is one decision. Truth number three. Fix the relationships that matter,
• 8:51
  because connection equals quality of life. The Harvard Study of
• 8:55
  Adult Development, conducted by Robert Waldinger, who I've had the
• 8:59
  honor of viewing on on purpose twice, this is the
• 9:03
  longest happiness study ever done, found the quality of your
• 9:07
  relationships is the strongest predictor of your future wellbeing. Your
• 9:13
  life doesn't change alone. Your life changes through better conversations,
• 9:19
  better boundaries, and deeper connections. So here's what I want
• 9:23
  you to do in twenty twenty six. Repair one relationship
• 9:27
  this year that matters. Release one draining connection that has expired.
• 9:35
  Deepen one meaningful bond for more support. Schedule one weekly
• 9:41
  connection ritual. Here's the harsh truth. Loneliness is not the
• 9:47
  absence of people. It's the absence of understanding. Loneliness is
• 9:52
  not the absence of company. It's being surrounded and still
• 9:56
  feeling unseen. Loneliness is not the absence of conversation. It's
• 10:01
  talking without ever being heard. Loneliness is not the absence
• 10:06
  of relationships, it's the absence of someone you can be
• 10:09
  honest with. Loneliness is not the absence of someone, it's
• 10:14
  the absence of safety. Ask yourself which relationship is worth
• 10:21
  improving or which ones do you need to distance from?
• 10:25
  Which relationship would have the greatest positive benefit in your
• 10:30
  life if you invested in it more. Here are four
• 10:35
  questions that will change your relationships. Who do you need
• 10:39
  to call more? Who do you need to talk to less?
• 10:43
  Who do you want to spend time with? Who do
• 10:46
  you need to distance from? If you focused on transforming
• 10:50
  your relationships this year, it will transform your life. You
• 10:55
  know what truly holds you back. Relationships that drain you.
• 11:00
  People who misunderstand you no matter how clearly you speak.
• 11:05
  Conversations that take energy but give none back. Connections that
• 11:10
  make you doubt yourself instead of support yourself. It's not
• 11:15
  your potential that's limited. It's the people who keep pulling
• 11:19
  you backwards while you're trying to push forward. Take an
• 11:24
  inventory of the people in your life this year. You
• 11:28
  don't have to make big changes. You don't have to
• 11:31
  just cut people out, but recognize what would move the
• 11:35
  needle and give it some time and energy. Truth number four.
• 11:40
  Fear becomes bigger the further you stand from it. Fear
• 11:45
  becomes smaller the closer you move toward it. Action reduces anxiety,
• 11:52
  avoidance amplifies it. Here are some practical steps for this year.
• 11:57
  Create a fear list instead of a to do list. Right,
• 12:00
  we all make to do lists, but I want you
• 12:02
  to make a fear list. Break each fear into five
• 12:06
  micro actions, and then I want you to reward action,
• 12:10
  not outcome. Because here's the mistake we make. You don't
• 12:14
  have to overcome fear before you do something. You have
• 12:18
  to do the thing whilst you're still feeling the fear.
• 12:21
  You don't get over your fear then start a business.
• 12:24
  You start a business, feel scared, nervous and anxious, and
• 12:28
  still move forward. What the fear list does is it
• 12:32
  makes you face what you're actually struggling with. The reason
• 12:36
  you don't do your to do list is because you're scared.
• 12:39
  The reason you cancel that meeting is because you're scared.
• 12:42
  The reason you don't send your resume is because you're scared.
• 12:46
  The reason you don't ask for a promotion is because
• 12:48
  you're scared. We're so scared of rejection, we're so scared
• 12:52
  of failing, that we don't take action before we can
• 12:55
  remove that feeling. What we don't realize is that life
• 12:59
  is all about doing things even with the feelings that
• 13:03
  you think are holding you back. Please don't let your
• 13:07
  fears ruin your future. Please don't let your fears keep
• 13:12
  you stuck in places you've already outgrown. Please don't let
• 13:16
  your fears make you walk away from something good before
• 13:21
  you've even tried. Please don't let your fears turn temporary
• 13:25
  uncertainty into a lifetime of regret. And please don't let
• 13:30
  your fears talk you out of the future you know
• 13:33
  you deserve. It's fascinating to me how many of us
• 13:38
  set goals and don't meet them, not because the goals
• 13:42
  aren't right, but because we haven't addressed the fear. If
• 13:47
  we don't face our fears, we can't move forward toward
• 13:51
  our goals. So instead of just looking at your goals
• 13:53
  every year and wondering why you're not there yet, make
• 13:57
  this the year you face your fears, address them, focus
• 14:00
  on them, break through them by taking action even when
• 14:04
  they exist. One of my favorite quotes that I've ever
• 14:08
  heard is, if you feel afraid, do it afraid. If
• 14:14
  you feel scared, do it scared. If you feel anxious,
• 14:20
  do it anxious. And if you feel nervous, do it nervous.
• 14:26
  It's better to do the thing even feeling that way,
• 14:31
  than to hope you will get over that feeling so
• 14:34
  you can finally start Truth Number six, the power of service.
• 14:40
  Service isn't just charity. Service is identity, it's meaning. It's medicine.
• 14:48
  Neuroscience shows that helping others activates the brain's reward pathways,
• 14:54
  the same circuits that light up for purpose and joy.
• 14:58
  There's even studies that show them when people are experiencing depression.
• 15:01
  If they help others with depression, theirs goes down. So
• 15:05
  sometimes we also say to ourselves, I'll help when I
• 15:08
  have more, not realizing you'll have more if you help now.
• 15:13
  If you help someone now, you feel great a self esteem.
• 15:17
  You count your blessings. You realize what skills you have.
• 15:21
  I learned about the skills and talents I have because
• 15:24
  I started using things in the service of others, even
• 15:28
  before I knew I had them. Here are some practical
• 15:31
  ways you can do that. You could volunteer one hour
• 15:34
  a week. You could help one person quietly. You could
• 15:38
  use your skills for someone else's benefit or the community.
• 15:42
  Pick one issue you worry about and get involved. If
• 15:46
  you want to change your life, change someone else's day.
• 15:51
  If you want to change your year, change someone else's week.
• 15:57
  If you want to change your month, change someone else's hour.
• 16:04
  You can transform your life by transforming someone else's. So
• 16:09
  here's your year. Redesigned. Break your year into four ninety
• 16:14
  day seasons. Season one Reset Redesign your environment and your habits.
• 16:21
  Season two Learn master two skills that change your confidence
• 16:26
  and direction. Promise you will make a big difference. Season
• 16:30
  three Connect, Repair, deepen, and rebuild relationships. Season four Expand,
• 16:37
  Face fears, take risks, and create something new. You don't
• 16:41
  have to do everything I said in one season. A
• 16:43
  year as four seasons. You don't see the weather trying
• 16:47
  to snow, rain, sunshine, and everything else all in one day.
• 16:52
  That's not what the climate tries to do. Move in seasons.
• 16:57
  Remember this, A year is an three hundred and sixty
• 17:01
  five days. It's fifty two chances, twelve chapters, and four seasons.
• 17:08
  Your life can change this year, not because the year
• 17:12
  is magical, but because you are capable. You don't need
• 17:16
  a perfect plan, you don't need certainty, you don't need confidence.
• 17:21
  You need momentum. You need one decision, you need one step,
• 17:25
  and you need to remember this. One year of intention
• 17:30
  can undo ten years of drifting. So choose one thing today,
• 17:37
  one habit, one relationship, one skill, one decision, one fear,
• 17:42
  one active service, and just start. A year from now,
• 17:48
  you will look back and barely recognize the person you
• 17:52
  used to be because your life doesn't change some day,
• 17:57
  it changes the day that you just start. The insight
• 18:01
  and advice that I've shared with you today will truly
• 18:05
  make a difference. I've had the fortune of having incredible
• 18:08
  years in my life where I have changed my life
• 18:11
  in a year, And when you look at it that way,
• 18:14
  you actually give yourself the opportunity to transform. Sometimes we
• 18:18
  want to change our life in a day. We want
• 18:20
  to change our life in a month. Give yourself a
• 18:24
  year this year to really make a difference. See, we
• 18:28
  think consistency looks like this. Real consistency looks like this.
• 18:34
  Right If you think to yourself, I'm going to work
• 18:37
  out five days a week every week for the rest
• 18:38
  of the year. The one week where you only do
• 18:41
  three days, you'll feel like a failure. So what do
• 18:44
  you do? You recognize five's the average. There'll be some
• 18:48
  weeks you do seven. There'll be some weeks you do three.
• 18:51
  There'll be some weeks you do four, and there'll be
• 18:52
  some weeks you do six. When you give yourself that
• 18:56
  flexibility and adaptability to hit the average, not the ideal,
• 19:00
  every single week, you finally give yourself an opportunity to
• 19:05
  make a huge difference. I've seen so many people try
• 19:11
  to put too much pressure on themselves. I've seen so
• 19:14
  many people who've been so harsh to themselves. If you
• 19:18
  really want this year to be the year that everything changes,
• 19:24
  follow these steps, stay accountable, Find someone you can share
• 19:29
  these goals with, and move forward together. Your goal doesn't
• 19:33
  get you to the goal. It's the growth that gets
• 19:37
  you to the goal. How are you willing to grow?
• 19:40
  Who are you willing to become? What are you willing
• 19:42
  to change? If you focus on transformation over the destination,
• 19:48
  you will get there quicker. Often we keep looking at
• 19:52
  the goal and thinking it's so far away, it's so
• 19:54
  hard to get there. I don't know when it's going
• 19:55
  to happen. If we just focused on the next step,
• 20:00
  the next step forward, just one step at a time,
• 20:04
  you'll be at the destination in no time. Please know
• 20:08
  that you can change your life in a year by
• 20:11
  changing the few things that I laid out and remember
• 20:15
  and forever in your corner. I'm always rooting for you
• 20:18
  and I wish you all the best. Thank you so
• 20:21
  much for watching this video. I'm so grateful for your support.
• 20:25
  Twenty twenty six is going to be the best year. Yeah.
• 20:27
  I want you to subscribe to my channel so you
• 20:30
  never miss a video. Thank you so much for listening
• 20:33
  to this conversation. If you enjoyed it, you'll love my
• 20:36
  chat with Adam Grant on why discomfort is the key
• 20:40
  to growth and the strategies for unlocking your hidden potential.
• 20:45
  If you know you want to be more and achieve
• 20:47
  more this year, go check it out right now. You
• 20:50
  set a goal today, you achieve it in six months,
• 20:53
  and then by the time it happens, it's almost a relief.
• 20:56
  There's no sense of meaning and purpose. You sort of
• 20:58
  expected it, and you would have been just pointed if
• 21:00
  it didn't happen.
