Last night, I had the privilege of seeing Hamilton with a friend. (Did I mention I’m a bit of a stage show enthusiast?)
It’s more than a musical—it’s a masterpiece. Hamilton is a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of time and the stories we leave behind.
One line in particular struck me deeply:
“How do you want others to tell your story when you’re gone?”
It’s a question that lingers, isn’t it? It makes you pause and reflect on your purpose, your impact, and how you’re shaping your life.
As we step into 2025—a new year and the start of a new quarter-century—it feels like the perfect time to ask ourselves:
- What will the story of the next 25 years be?
- And what has been the story of the last 25 years?
Twenty-five years ago, I stood at a crossroads. Should I stay in Melbourne, in a comfortable job, or take a leap into the unknown and move to Queensland?
I chose to leap.
That decision was filled with uncertainty, ambition, and the undeniable pull of my inner knowing. I didn’t have all the answers (and I still don’t!), but I knew I wanted my life to matter.
The path wasn’t easy. There were doubts, obstacles, and tough lessons. But every challenge gifted me with a richer life experience.
It also led me to found MG—a space where I could empower coaches and business owners to unlock their fullest potential.
Looking back, I realise this:
The most significant growth in my life came when I followed my inner wisdom and took bold, aligned action.
So here’s my question for you.
What story do you want to create in the next 25 years?
This isn’t about setting resolutions—it’s about revelations.
Moments of clarity that align your goals with your growth.
As you reflect, consider these questions:
- What truly moves the needle in your life and business?
- What can you let go of to create space for what truly serves your purpose?
- What steps will you take to expand into the next, most aligned version of yourself?
Here’s what I know.
This year is an opportunity to plant the seeds of a story you’ll be proud to have others share.
