Priorities, Promises, and Pressure—Oh My!

Vol # 2

Welcome to the Yellow Brick Road of 2025! 👠

The Wizard of Oz (1939) - A timeless story of believing in yourself.

Are you ready to leave the flying monkeys of 2024 behind and start 2025 with courage, heart, and wisdom?

As we set off on a new adventure this year, let's take a journey together—inspired by The Wizard of Oz! Each step down this road represents a chance to reflect, grow, and dream big. Ready to walk the path?

🎓 The Scarecrow’s Wisdom: Lessons from 2024

Every time you said, “I can’t do it,” the Universe replied, “Oh, yes you can—watch this.” And just like that, you found yourself growing in ways you never imagined. Challenges were thrown your way, not to break you but to build you.

✨ I AM AWESOME: Reflect on your most resourceful moment in 2024. The time you thought outside the box and came out on top. Write it down and carry that confidence into 2025. You've got this.

Now that you’ve reflected on your mental wins, let’s turn to your heart.

❤️ The Tin Man’s Heart: Emotional Resilience

Forgiveness isn’t for the faint of heart—it’s for the wise. Letting go doesn’t mean you forget or become a doormat; it means you choose peace over bitterness. Anger weighs you down; love lifts you up.

A Heart of Gold: What was your biggest emotional win of 2024? Did you let go of a grudge or extend kindness when it wasn’t easy? Celebrate that resilience and take it with you into 2025.

🦁 POLL: The Lion’s Courage

Let’s make this fun—here’s a quick poll.

🌟 My Takeaways from the Yellow Brick Road

The Wizard of Oz isn’t just a story; it’s a blueprint for life. Dorothy’s journey isn’t about reaching some magical place—it’s about realizing she already had everything she needed to succeed.

The Scarecrow teaches us that even when we doubt our intelligence, quick thinking can save the day.

The Tin Man reminds us to keep an open heart, even when life feels cold. The Cowardly Lion? He shows that courage isn’t the absence of fear; it’s taking action despite it.

The Flying Monkeys, the Poppy Field, Emerald City, and the Wizard of Oz all symbolize distractions designed to pull you away from your true path—the illusion that something external can either harm you or save you.

The Wicked Witch? She’s every obstacle, every fear, every “I can’t.”

The Ruby Slippers? They embody active faith. When you wear the slippers, take steps on your path, and believe in yourself, you’ll always find your way home. The magic lies in the act of moving forward with faith. Fear can’t touch you when you act with conviction. In fact, the more you walk in faith, the more fear dissolves into the background.

FAITH ISN'T A FEELING - IT'S AN ACTION

"Faith isn't just lip service, it's believing in yourself to take the next step even when it's scary, uncomfortable, or terrifying."

In 2025, don’t wait for someone else to hand you the answers. Embrace your brain, heart, and courage. You’ve got all the tools you need to blaze your own trail.
