Transcript
00:00:06 Kevin
Good evening, gang.
00:00:07 Kevin
Welcome to Life 22 in the year 2026.
00:00:12 Kevin
It is our...
00:00:14 Kevin
So this morning we wish you a happy New Year's.
00:00:16 Kevin
It has been a busy day.
00:00:17 Kevin
I was hoping to get more podcasts out.
00:00:19 Kevin
I was hoping to utilize a day that normally I would kind of take a break to try to reassess my life and take a kind of take a hard look in the mirror and say, what are we doing for 2026?
00:00:30 Kevin
And I've kind of been doing that for the last three months.
00:00:34 Kevin
So no need for today.
00:00:36 Kevin
I was actually playing catch up on other paperwork that I had to get done.
00:00:41 Kevin
In addition to everything else that happened today, as we discussed earlier, where our rental got kind of like mashed into and had to fill out police reports.
00:00:52 Kevin
Yeah, it just never ends, man.
00:00:55 Kevin
And you can't make this **** up.
00:00:57 Kevin
And welcome to New York.
00:00:59 Kevin
Welcome to
00:01:04 Kevin
welcome to 2026.
00:01:05 Kevin
Like what a great way to start the year.
00:01:08 Kevin
But I mean, busier than ever, just getting just abruptly jutted out of bed first thing this morning.
00:01:14 Kevin
But you know what you do when life tosses lemons at you?
00:01:18 Kevin
It might hit you in the face, hit you, squirch you in the eye with lemons.
00:01:22 Kevin
You wipe the lemon juice off and you make lemonade.
00:01:26 Kevin
And I know you're all expecting that, right?
00:01:27 Kevin
Because it's such a done to death cliche.
00:01:30 Kevin
But that's what we're going to do.
00:01:31 Kevin
We're going to take this as an opportunity to move ourselves forward into 2026.
00:01:37 Kevin
Because if you're not moving forward, you're dying, right?
00:01:41 Kevin
And I'm not dying.
00:01:43 Kevin
You're not dying.
00:01:44 Kevin
Let's get out there.
00:01:45 Kevin
Let's jump into it.
00:01:46 Kevin
Let's get our feet wet.
00:01:47 Kevin
Let's not care how cold the water is.
00:01:50 Kevin
Let's just jump in because we know we have to do it to move forward.
00:01:53 Kevin
There is
00:01:54 Kevin
no other alternative than to push forward, than to just shirk that anxiety off, shirk that fear of the unknown off your back and just, it's good to have it there a little bit, you know, the remnants of anxiety to keep yourself in check from time to time, but you cannot let it fester and set in and turn into depression.
00:02:17 Kevin
turn into full-blown anxiety, crippling, dilapidating.
00:02:22 Kevin
No, this is a brand new year and you're getting out there and you're going to **** *** and you're going to take names.
00:02:28 Kevin
That's what we're doing.
00:02:29 Kevin
Jesus, you think it was a motivational Monday the way I just pump myself up.
00:02:32 Kevin
You like that?
00:02:33 Kevin
Do you like that?
00:02:34 Kevin
I love it.
00:02:34 Kevin
2026 is here, baby.
00:02:36 Kevin
Yeah.
00:02:37 Kevin
I feel like David Goggins.
00:02:41 Kevin
Get hard.
00:02:43 Kevin
All right.
00:02:44 Kevin
Well,
00:02:45 Kevin
With that said, it's almost 10 o'clock at night.
00:02:47 Kevin
I've got to get to bed.
00:02:49 Kevin
I've got a lot going on, a lot always going on, and we're going to have more for you on the channel.
00:02:53 Kevin
But we want you to know, it is jump into January.
00:02:57 Kevin
This is part of our life theming.
00:02:59 Kevin
Every month we pick a new life theme.
00:03:01 Kevin
It's jump into January.
00:03:03 Kevin
This is where, like, I don't care that you have a New Year's resolution, you're jumping into January and you're doing your New Year's resolution, and there's no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
00:03:09 Kevin
You are just doing it, holding you to account.
00:03:14 Kevin
It's called accountability.
00:03:16 Kevin
We've gone too many decades where now, and I was thinking about this earlier today, we've gone too many decades where people are just not being held accountable.
00:03:24 Kevin
Well, guess what?
00:03:24 Kevin
When the piper comes due, everyone's always saying, oh, you know, the things we're doing today, your grandkids are going to pay for it.
00:03:29 Kevin
Well, guess what?
00:03:32 Kevin
The lack of accountability we've held people to for such a long time, guess what?
00:03:35 Kevin
Now you're paying for it.
00:03:36 Kevin
You're paying for it tenfold.
00:03:38 Kevin
And it starts today.
00:03:42 Kevin
Jump into January, baby.
00:03:43 Kevin
You're here.
00:03:44 Kevin
Let us know in the comments below how your Do Better December went, and I hope that you're doing even better with your jump into January.
00:03:51 Kevin
Let us know what you plan on doing as you jump into January, what your goals, your aspirations are, what kind of New Year's resolutions that you're trying to pound out first thing in the year that you're going to push through and make happen all year round.
00:04:08 Kevin
So we will
00:04:09 Kevin
Don't forget to like, subscribe, and we will catch you guys tomorrow, tomorrow on Life 22.
00:04:16 Kevin
Now, I said that too quickly and then I was not ready for the transition.
00:04:21 Kevin
Here comes the title text, because you can hold up.
00:04:28 Kevin
