In this motivational YouTube monologue, the speaker welcomes viewers to the first “Moment of Yes” of 2025, introducing the personal theme word for the year: “evolve.” The speaker explains that the word serves as an anchor to guide growth across multiple life areas—diet, fitness, finances, and career—by prompting the question, “What would it look like to evolve in this situation?” The talk emphasizes stepping out of comfort zones, using the word as a reminder during discouragement, and encourages viewers to share their own 2025 word or begin the year with gratitude. The overall purpose is to spark motivation, set a growth mindset, and foster community interaction at the start of the new year.

Happy New Year, everyone. This is your Moment of Yes for January 1st, 2025. I could not do a Moment of Yes today, January 1st. So hopefully everyone did, you know, something either relaxing or interesting last night on New Year's Eve. So here we go. January 1st, 2025. Why stop or why pause or why delay starting today with some with some momentum, with some motivation. And so, yeah, so my word, right, as I've been teasing, not like a big deal, right? So my word for 2025, last year it was, or 2 years ago it was value. This past year it was trust. This year it is evolve. E-V-O-L-V-E, evolve. We went to the beach last night and everyone wrote their word in the sand and presented it to everyone, which was a fun thing to do. Uh, my word for 2025 is evolve. So what that mainly means for me is throughout the year, having that sort of be kind of an anchor, or especially when I'm feeling, um, maybe discouraged or even a little stuck, to come back to, um, to come back to evolve. And really it's, it's a question for a question, right? To ask myself, what would it look like to evolve in this situation? What would it look like? So take like, you know, my, my diet, right? If I want to eat better, right? Well, what, what would it look like if I evolved? with eating healthier? What would it look like exercise if I evolved my fitness? What would it look like financially if I evolved? What would it look like my career? And so I know it's going to challenge me to get outside my comfort zone, to do some things that maybe don't come natural to me, all in the spirit of evolving. So, outlining what that looks like and when and how. So, there you go. Do you have a word for 2025? If so, Share it. We'd love to hear it. If not, let's start the day with a lot of gratitude, and it's going to be a great year, everyone. That's your moment of yes for today.
