Watch This Before You Try to "Fix Your Life" in 2026

Описание: Find YOUR Core Values (free exercise/mini-workbook): https://jean-k-silver.kit.com/yourval...

Watch this before you try to “fix your life” in 2026.
Most New Year’s resolutions don’t fail because "people are lazy" or "something went wrong": they fail because they’re built on the wrong foundation.

In this video, we’re breaking down why motivation won’t save you, why discipline alone isn’t enough, and why setting goals without understanding your values keeps ambitious people stuck, burned out, and frustrated year after year.

If you’re hardworking, driven, and genuinely trying to improve your life, but keep feeling like your effort isn’t translating into real change, this video will change how you approach personal growth forever.

We’ll talk about:
Why motivation is unreliable (and what actually replaces it)
The difference between concrete goals and values worth pursuing, and why confusing them sabotages your progress
How to build discipline on top of values, not willpower
How to break big goals down into sustainable systems
Why mental flexibility is a strength, not a failure
How your environment silently determines your success
A simple “5% rule” that makes life just a tiny bit easier

These lessons are ones I learned when rebuilding my life from the ground up - balancing a demanding tech career, creative work, fitness, and intentional living - and I’d much rather you learn them here than through years of trial and error of your own.

If you’re ambitious but tired, focused but overwhelmed, or determined to make 2026 different without burning yourself out - this video is for you!
