Mid-Year Check-In: Reconnecting with My Vision for 2025
As we reach the end of Q2, I’ve taken time to revisit the vivid vision I crafted for this year—a vision that serves as both compass and anchor. It’s easy to let months slip by in the blur of meetings, milestones, and day-to-day demands, but without pause for reflection, even the best intentions can drift.
At the beginning of the year, I committed to living with greater clarity, balance, and alignment. That commitment wasn't just a vague hope—it was built into a vision statement I revisit often. Here’s what I wrote:
“In 2025, I am a deeply connected husband and father, living with clarity and intention in all areas of my life.
I am healthy, fit, and emotionally resilient, balancing the demands of business and family while expanding my emotional and intellectual capacities.
My business continues to grow sustainably, driven by meaningful collaborations and impactful client relationships.
I am present in every moment, nurturing my family and friendships, and building a legacy of love, leadership, and financial freedom.
I embrace the future with excitement, knowing that every action is aligned with my true purpose.”
Reading this again now, six months in, reminds me of the intentionality I want to bring to both my personal and professional life. It’s also a chance to evaluate how far I’ve come—and where there’s still room to grow.
Reflecting on Q1 and Q2
The first half of 2025 brought meaningful progress—and honest lessons.
On the personal front, I’ve been intentional about being present at home. I’ve blocked off family time more consistently, stepped away from screens during meals, and prioritized health in both small and significant ways. There’s still more room to grow, especially when it comes to rest and emotional bandwidth, but I’m seeing progress that feels true to this vision.
On the business side, I’ve leaned deeper into strategic partnerships and doubled down on client relationships that align with my values. The work has been meaningful, not just productive. I’ve said “no” more often this year than any before—not out of avoidance, but out of respect for what I’ve committed to.
But not everything has gone perfectly. There have been weeks when I’ve let urgency win over intentionality, and times when I’ve felt spread thin. That’s the nature of growth—it requires continuous recalibration. That’s why this mid-year pause is so valuable.
Looking Ahead to the Second Half
The vision I wrote for 2025 isn’t something I set once and forget. It’s something I aim to live into every day. So as I enter the second half of the year, I’m asking myself a few key questions:
What’s truly working—and how can I do more of it?
What’s not aligned—and what needs to shift?
Where can I show up more fully—as a leader, a partner, and a human?
If you haven’t revisited your goals or vision for the year, this is a great moment to do it. Not to feel behind—but to realign, recalibrate, and recommit.
