2018 is over, and it seems like it went by in a heartbeat. In fact, each year seems to be going by quicker and quicker.
I don’t have much for you in this year end message except to sum up everything we’ve learned this year together into a simple message: don’t let fear defeat you.
Don’t let fear keep you in the same place you’ve always been in 2019. Keep growing, keep building, and keep getting stronger.
Happy New Year from the Warrior Soul Family to you.

This is Chris Albert, and I'm here to remind you of one thing. Someday, you're going to die. Now that's not some morbid statement or scary idea. It's solid fact. Your time here on this earth is limited.
And you need to be reminded of this as much as possible for one simple reason, to live your best life while you can. This is the Warrior Soul podcast.
It's the end of the year, and 2018 is coming to a close. And I'm at a point in my life where at one time a year seemed like such a long time. And now the years seem to be going by quicker and quicker. 2018 seemed like a flash. And I think that one of the lessons that I've learned in 2018 is this, that no matter what, no matter what's going on in our lives, whether we've got good stuff going on, whether we've got horrible stuff going on, I've had both happen this year, whatever's going on, we need to keep growing.
We need to keep fighting to become better. And that's really the only message I have for you today. You're going to spend the next few days as 2019 begins to enter the picture, thinking about your life. You're gonna be thinking about your plans for the year ahead. You're gonna be thinking about all the different things you didn't do in 2018 that you wanna get done in 2019.
And I want you to do them. I want you to do everything you can to get what you want done done in the next year. What I don't want you to do is to tell yourself you're gonna do these things and then just sit on your hands or tell yourself that you can't do them. The thing is, we allow these years to fall by quicker and quicker. We allow these years to leave us.
And as the years pass by, and we promise ourselves we'll change things, but then we don't, we keep staying in the same position over and over and over again. And at the end of our lives, what we're left with is is nothing but our regrets. We're left with the memories of the things we didn't do. I don't want that for me, and I definitely don't want that for you. So as you enter this 2019 and you start to put your New Year's resolutions together as I I talked about in the last episode, also make sure that you have an action plan.
An action plan to get these things done no matter what. That could be losing weight, could be starting a business, could be making yourself more financially secure, could be improving your relationships, whatever it is that you want for yourself, create a real plan to make it happen. And within a few weeks, when February comes and March comes and your job starts to get stressful and tax season comes and maybe you've got to worry about financials, make sure that you don't let it go. Make sure that the thing that you want is still there in your mind and that all your fear isn't pushing it out because that's what's keeping you in the same space year after year. It's not your desire for things that keeps there.
It's your fear. Your fear of what's gonna happen, your fear of uncertainty, your fear of letting go the life and the things that you don't want, the fear of a little bit of discomfort, the fear of missing out on an hour of Netflix a night or, you know, some other thing that you're doing. Don't let that fear run you away from your dreams. Don't let that fear take you away from being the person that you wanna be. That's all I've got for this Warrior Notes.
