Change Happens IRL
I just met some enthusiastic young people at the train station on my way to work. They were handing out flyers for one of the political parties here in Denmark in advance of our upcoming election. It doesn’t matter if I agree with them – it makes me happy that they are there and making a difference.
Liking a post on Facebook or Instagram does not make a difference.
If you are unhappy with the way things are going in your country, you need to get off the couch. Volunteer IRL for a cause or political organization you believe in.
You Can Do One Minute
There are two possible outcomes of this day: One is that you did no work towards your goals. And the other one is that you did.
You want every day in 2026 (and the rest of your life) to fall into the second category. The way to achieve that is to lower the bar. Yes, lower it. Decide that even one minute working towards your goals counts.
But one minute doesn’t make a difference, does it? Well, on its own, it’s still 6 hours more than nothing over a year. But the interesting thing is that once you get started on the one minute, it leads to another, and another. The hard thing about hard things is to get started. One minute counts.
