The Clarity Compass

2026 Edition

Why a True North?

We often start the year with Resolutions. But resolutions are usually just to-do lists in disguise. They demand that you do more.

A True North is different. It is not a task; it is a direction.

The Goal:

In this reflection, we aren't looking for what you want to achieve. We are looking for who you want to be while you achieve it.

When the world gets loud or your plans get derailed (and they will), a Compass helps you find your way back.

10 Minutes • Guided Reflection • Private

1. The Rearview Mirror

Before we look forward, we must honor what has passed. List 3 highlights from the last year (or two). These could be achievements, moments of joy, or challenges you overcame.

2. The Release

Growth requires pruning. What mindsets, habits, or burdens are you still carrying that you do not want to bring into 2026?

3. The Evolution

Look at the person you are today versus a year ago. How are you different? Who is the "You" that is emerging?

4. The Horizon

Fast forward to December 2026. If this year goes exactly how you hope, how do you want to feel inside your body and mind?

My True North for 2026

Navigating What's Next

A True North gives you direction. But to get there, you need to navigate the internal blocks (Saboteurs) and external challenges that get in the way.

1. Share Your Word

Send me a quick email with your word. I’d love to cheer you on (and can send you that Saboteur Assessment if you want it).
