🐾 Whiskey's Wisdom:

継続は力なり Keizoku wa chikara nari
~Japanese Proverb

Translation:

"Continuance is strength" or "Persistence is power".

This emphasizes that steady effort leads to strength and success with any goal. What dream do you need to realize in 2026? What Bucket-List goal needs to be experienced soon?

Hello Thomas, I should follow the 5 circles in your blogs more often. I may do 3 1/2 of them but need to do all 5

All five in harmony are what help create, sustain and grow the Good Life Will Hamm - so ask yourself why you think your focus doesn't include the other 1.5? It may be they are not a priority - or it could be you need help achieving some presence in them - its OK to ask for help.

Thomas we were just talking this morning of our beloved little "prospecting' dog Barney who we miss to this day. Our Norman heard a dog this morning and we thought maybe he'd want to go out and 'prospect' like Barney used to. Nope. Not interested! Takes all breeds, doesn't it!

Good afternoon Thomas,

That is a powerful proverb and one that we can all identify with! It always takes steady effort to succeed whether its personal or business.

Good morning, Thomas... my primary goal in the coming year is to end it by retiring. Tight now, what's shaping up for the first part of the year is at odds with the goal. I guess, we'll see...

Love this reminder, Thomas — persistence really is the power behind every big dream. 🐾 That Japanese proverb says it perfectly. As we look toward 2026, it’s a good nudge to stay committed to the “why,” even when the “how” gets challenging. Thanks for the inspiration today… and happy birthday to Whiskey! 🎉🐶
