For my 2026 goals, I decided to attack my mindset instead of reaching specific accomplishments. They say most of life happens in your head, so after a few year of not doing resolutions, I decided to focus a little more on the intangible. Let’s get to em.

This is my version of be delusional. The main difference is that my music is good. My ideas are good and I am smart. I was asked recently if I had what it takes to make it and the answer to that is obviously yes but then I was asked if I believe it that was Nat with a little more apprehension. It’s time to finally drink my own Kool-Aid and believe that I can do it not just that I have the capabilities to do it.
Not only will I ask for the unreasonable I will demand it. People who deserve less than me have asked for and received more and I just can’t accept that.
The last few years have been trash for me as a the city's music scene that I was expecting to be able to navigate as an artist with more ease than how it ended up being for me. Attached to this I won't be mad if my local friends don't give a shit about my music. Why would they? Why should they? People wanna see you be great but that doesn’t mean they need to pretend to be fans of your work.
In doing everything myself, the closest thing I can get to a team is creating a set of systems to help make my work and journey easier. Working across multiple media, it’s gonna be important to be organized if I wanna win.
Since when has the algorithm done something for me? Why should I do something for it? This will mainly manifest in me putting everything everywhere and not playing any platform games. Worrying about what works best where will just end in paralysis. If people care, they’ll find me.
It's my money I just need to find who has it. It's important to mentally leave the door open for the money to enter and that's how this got on my list. All at once. Over the year. Installments. Music. Art. Shows. Ideas. Investments. Grants. Contests. NFTs. Albums. Merch. Subscribers. Rapping. DJing. Writing. Editing. Designing. Anything.
I make things like this to hold myself accountable because I said it to the public. Just do your best each day and understand that doing your best doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s good. Doing your best just means it was your best in the moment. Sometimes doing things you’re good at can go poorly for a variety of reasons, but as long as you did your best…you have nothing to regret. Or whatever.

Great perspective. Focusing on mindset, systems, and belief instead of just checklists feels way more sustainable - and your 2025 output already proves the work ethic is there. Drinking your own Kool-Aid might be the real unlock this year. https://wheelie-lifegame.github.io/
This post feels honest and motivating, focusing on mindset, systems, and self-belief. The goals balance ambition and realism, showing creative growth, confidence, and accountability beyond traditional resolutions. https://sprunkiphase3.io
The difference is simple: my music is good, my ideas are good, and I am smart. Recently, someone asked me if I had what it takes to make it. The answer to that is obviously yes. But when they asked if I believe it, I hesitated. That hesitation was Nat — a flicker of doubt I’ve carried too long. https://melonplayground.io
I am drawn to your new year's goals
