Choose Your Endings: The Secret to Thriving in 2025
January 7, 2025
A Note from Shawn:
Happy New Year! As we step into 2025, I want to you to think about this: Hasn’t every major breakthrough in your life come on the other side of an ending? Whether it was letting go of a job, a relationship, or a limiting belief, the most profound growth often starts when something else ends. Are you with me? So, what if we didn’t just wait for endings to happen? What if we got intentional about creating them? The better we get at choosing our endings, the faster our breakthroughs can come. That’s what I’m going to help you with this year.
Let’s Get Real
Here’s a truth most people avoid: every breakthrough starts with an ending.
We love to talk about beginnings—new goals, fresh starts, turning the page. I’m sure your social media feed (and inbox) has been filled with all that.
But what we don’t talk about enough is how often we stay stuck because we’re holding on to something that no longer serves us.
It could be a toxic relationship, a job that drains your energy, or a belief about yourself that’s keeping you small. Whatever it is, it’s time to stop waiting for it to change and start choosing to end it.
Why? Because endings are the gateway to freedom.
Endings Create Space for Growth
Imagine trying to pack a suitcase that’s already overflowing. You can’t fit anything new in there without taking something out first. Your life is the same way. To invite something better—more fulfilling relationships, exciting opportunities, greater success—you need to make room by letting go of what’s weighing you down.
Start by Asking These Questions:
- What’s draining your energy that you can stop tolerating?
- What’s one habit, relationship, or belief that no longer aligns with who you want to be?
- What’s one thing you can choose to end today to create space for what’s next?
Courage to Choose Your Endings
Sometimes endings are thrust upon us, like losing a job or a relationship. Other times, we need to have the courage to create them. And that can feel scary because endings mean change. But here’s the good news: when you intentionally choose your endings, you reclaim your power.
You’re no longer waiting for life to “happen” to you—you’re taking control of what stays and what goes.
Your 2025 Breakthrough Starts Now
As you map out your goals and dreams for the year ahead, don’t just think about what you want to start. Take a moment to ask:
- What do I need to END to make this year truly transformational?
When you choose your endings, you create space for the best version of yourself to thrive.
This isn’t just another year—it’s YOUR year to let go of what’s been holding you back and step boldly into what’s next.
Let’s make 2025 count.
