Make 2026 the Year You Finally Decide

By Ara Parisien

Every new year arrives with a collective hopefulness — a bright moment where possibility feels closer than difficulty. But hope alone has never been what shapes a life. Hope wishes. Intention chooses.

As we move toward 2026, the invitation is not merely to hope things get better. It is to intend that your experience shifts — because intentions carry energy, direction, and alignment. When you intend, you are no longer asking life to bring you something. You are declaring who you are and allowing life to respond to that truth.

Most people wait for change. They wait for better circumstances, a sign, a breakthrough. But waiting is not creation.
Intending is.

Every moment of your life is being shaped by a quiet but powerful declaration within you — your I AM.

I AM is the creative pulse that never sleeps. It doesn’t wait for calendars to turn or resolutions to form. It is active in every breath, every thought, every assumption you make about yourself and your life.

What you attach to I AM becomes your reality:

I am overwhelmed.
I am unlucky.
I am stuck.

These are intentions too — unconscious ones.

But when you begin to direct your I AM on purpose, everything changes:

I am capable.
I am powerful.
I am open to receiving more.
I am the one who decides how this year will unfold.

The Universe listens. Your energy responds. People treat you differently. Opportunities reveal themselves where previously you saw only barriers. Because when you change who you are being, life reorganizes to match.

Your I AM is not merely a statement — it is the essence of you. It is Source expressing as you. It is the part of you that knows your worth, your capability, your brilliance. It knows that growth is your nature and joy is your birthright.

It loves you so much that it honors every intention — even the ones that keep you small — because you are a sovereign creator.

But in 2026, what if you choose differently?

What if you allow that love to elevate you instead of simply sustain you?

What if you become the version of yourself you have been whispering about for years?

Do not hope that 2026 will be the year things fall into place.
Intend that you will be the one placing them.

Intend that:

You speak to yourself like someone worth believing in.

You take aligned steps instead of waiting for permission.

You value your energy, your peace, and your truth above approval.

You live from desire, not from fear.

You trust that every experience is guiding you into more, not less.

You don’t need guarantees. You are the guarantee.

2026 can be the year everything changes — not because the year holds magic, but because you do.

Say it clearly:
I AM ready. I AM willing. I AM choosing the highest version of my life.

And then… respond to every moment as if that is already true.

You are not stepping into a new year — you are stepping into a new YOU.

This is the year you decide
This is the year you rise.
This is the year your I AM becomes undeniable.

My main wish for everyone is to choose to live deliberately and not allow life to live you.

You have the power.

In fact, you ARE the power.
