8 Questions to Start the New Year with More Truth, Freedom & Adventure

Kickstart Your Year with Truth, Freedom & a Whole Lot of Adventure

Ah, the new year. That time when goals and dreams are buzzing louder than a barista’s morning espresso machine. Whether you’re riding a high from the year that was, or scratching your head thinking “what just happened?”, this is your moment to hit reset and realign with your truth.

This read is your gentle nudge to set bold intentions, spark new adventures, and embrace the beautifully uncomfortable moments that make life life. Because let’s be real—we can hit restart anytime we like. New Year’s Day is just a socially accepted illusion of “the right time.” So why not now?

Let’s dive into a fresh perspective with 8 simple but powerful questions to bring more Truth, Freedom, and Adventure into your life.

🎯 Goals = Intentions for Adventures

Let’s stop treating goals like rigid rules and start treating them like invitations to a grander life. Goals are simply adventures in disguise. They’re not about pressure—they’re about possibility.

And speaking of possibility… let’s talk time.

⏳ Time Is an Illusion (Yes, Really)

Time is funny. Some people are always late, some are always on the dot. Why? Because we all perceive time differently. That’s right—time is less about clocks and more about internal rhythm.

Even Einstein hinted at this when he said, back in 1916:

“Quantum theory would have to modify not only Maxwellian electrodynamics but also the new theory of gravitation.”

Mind blown, right? The takeaway: the rules of time, space, and life are constantly evolving. So go ahead—make your own rules too.

🔍 TRUTH

Every day is a fresh start. Every moment is a micro-reset button. You don’t have to wait for fireworks or countdowns to begin again. You can start over right now—with intention, curiosity, and a joyful heart.

Holidays often give us this little pause in the matrix—a moment to reflect, chat with loved ones, reassess. But you don’t have to wait for holidays to check in with yourself.

Create mini celebrations throughout the year. Reflect often. And most of all—stay curious.

✨ FREEDOM

What does freedom feel like for you? Is it more time? More space? Less stuff? More travel?

Freedom looks different for everyone. For some, it’s minimalism. For others, it’s a Harley Davidson (but between you and me… I say dual-sport BMWs are the real MVPs 😜).

But true freedom? It’s about aligning with your core values.

Ask yourself:
What’s important to me right now?
That’s where your freedom lives. Right there in what you care about most.

🌍 ADVENTURE

Life is the ultimate adventure. It’s about taking that leap, embracing the fear, and doing it anyway.

Remember when you were a kid and tested boundaries just to see what would happen? Somewhere along the way, we traded risk for comfort. But growth still lives on the edge of your comfort zone.

So what adventure are you avoiding?
Mine was public speaking—so I threw myself in, mic first. What’s your version?

🧭 8 Questions to Reset & Realign

Here’s where the real magic begins. Grab a pen, open a fresh page, and answer these with love, curiosity, and full permission to dream BIG.

1. What do I value now?

Life shifts. So do your values. Check in—what matters most in your family, work, wellness, hobbies, and beyond?

2. What’s truly important to me right now?

Sometimes we spend all our time on things that don’t actually matter to us. Time to realign focus with passion.

3. How can I deepen my connections this year?

Connection = magic. Find groups, communities, or causes that light you up. Get curious, give back, show up.

(Quick story: a few years ago, my partner Mark and I sold everything and hit the road. No house, no “stuff.” Just a calling to live differently, do business on the road, and connect with the world in a new way.)

4. How can I invite more adventure into my life this year?

Adventure doesn’t need a passport. It’s a mindset. From saying yes to local events to launching that dream project, there are infinite ways to embrace the unknown.

5. How can I get clear on what I really want?

Write it down. Speak it out loud. Be bold. Be a little wild. Don’t get caught up in the how—focus on the what and when.

(In 2016, I rode around Australia on my motorbike. That one bold wish gave me more than I could ever imagine. Life surprises you when you let it.)

6. What am I ready to let go of to create more freedom?

Letting go is powerful. It could be stuff, stories, or stale routines. We minimized our life down to bikes, a 4WD, a tent, and two laptops—and gained more space and clarity than ever before.

7. What comfort zones am I ready to break free from?

Get honest. What dreams are hiding just outside your comfort zone? That gold you’re looking for? It’s probably waiting just beyond the fear.

8. How can I communicate better—with myself and others?

Communication is everything. With others, yes. But also with yourself. Inner trust = outer alignment. Rest, speak kindly, listen closely.

(Hot tip: sleep issues are often trust issues with your unconscious mind. Weird but true!)

🌈 MINIMIZE TO MAXIMIZE

We’ve learned to live with less—and love it more. Minimalism brought us clarity, joy, and deeper experiences. Turns out, “stuff” was just… stuff. Books I once hoarded now get passed on to others. Life is lighter. Easier. Richer.

🌀 CHANGE & THE EXTRAORDINARY

Change will always ask:

“What are you willing to let go of so you can grow?”

Loss, heartbreak, transition—they’re all part of the ride. But they’re also gateways to the extraordinary. The people we’ve met, the stories we’ve shared, the businesses we’ve helped—none of it was random. All of it? Magical.
