“ The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”
Stop Waiting for January: Your Gift Can't Wait
We're starting the second week of December 2025.
A lot has happened this year.
And I want to tell you something important...
Keep going.
Keep pressing.
You can finish this year strong — no matter how it started.
Remember this...
It's not about how you started.
It's about how you finish.
I might sound like a broken record here.
But here's what I've learned...
Every skill I've learned out of curiosity has turned into something valuable.
Every piece of knowledge I picked up "just because" later helped someone.
Every technique I explored without a plan became a monetizable skill.
The truth is...
Nothing you learn is a waste of time.
And I'm seeing this play out again right now.
I'm deep into several app projects.
But something else happened recently.
I've been working on Verse Nudge — my daily scripture reminder app with quiz questions.
It's my way of keeping a "God-focused" daily practice.
That project sparked another inspiration.
A Christian-based game — "Harmony Land."
(I'll share more details later — but trust me, it's coming.)
This game requires 3D modeling.
I've designed 3D models for 3D printing and executed basic tasks in the past.
But now?
I'm doing detailed work from scratch.
Designing layouts.
Importing models.
Creating experiences that other people will actually play.
Then it hit me...
This is exactly what happens when you don't give up on the skills you're building.
Can you relate?
Think about that random skill you picked up.
That software you've been dabbling in.
That knowledge you thought was "just for fun."
It's already serving you in ways you didn't expect.
The Real Challenge Right Now For me, it's about finishing this year strong.
Staying focused.
I have a lot of momentum building.
And yes — I'm excited.
Excited to leap into 2026.
But December has a way of making us coast.
We tell ourselves we'll start fresh in January.
We'll get serious when the new year hits.
We'll launch when we're "ready."
Here's what I've learned...
The momentum you build now carries into next year.
The project you push forward in December becomes your January advantage.
Do you have a dream festering in your heart?
An inspiration that won't leave you alone?
A gift you've been sitting on?
Listen carefully: That gift wasn't given to you by accident. It was given to you for a reason.
And it's time for you to present your present to the world.
If you didn't get it the first time.
Here it is again...
It's time for you to present your present to the world.
The Challenge: Don't Let "End of Year" Steal Your Momentum This week.
I want you to identify one project you can push forward before the year ends.
Not complete. Not perfect.
Just forward.
Ask yourself:
What skill have I been developing that could serve someone?
What project have I been sitting on that deserves another push?
What gift am I hiding that the world needs to see?
Then take one action this week to move it forward.
Write one page.
Record one video.
Build one feature.
Make one connection.
The year isn't over.
You still have time to finish strong.
Stop waiting for January to start.
Keep your head up.
Keep moving forward.
Your breakthrough might be closer than you think.
Cheers!

💡 TP’s Marketing Lesson
Narrative Marketing: The Content Trend That Will Dominate 2026
Daryn Strauss, an award-winning creator, explains that Narrative Marketing will dominate in 2026 by shifting focus from transactional funnels to building deep audience relationships.
Move Beyond Transactional Funnels: Consumers are no longer responding to traditional, funnel-based marketing. Success now relies on compelling storytelling (character, conflict, resolution) over simple features and SEO.
Prioritize Trust and Authenticity: Founders must become the authentic face of their brand, as consumers trust and binge content from human-driven brands that show vulnerability and the process.
Create Episodic Content: Think like a showrunner, not an influencer. Develop signature episodic series (like a progress series or theme-based show) to build "bingeability" and foster long-term fan relationships.

PROMPT: A majestic roaring lion with a regal Arab Islamic crown adorning its head, intricately decorated with ancient Egyptian symbols, including the artistically rendered hieroglyphic inscription of "Saud" in a triangular formation, with subtle shading and textures to convey the weathered look of aged stone. The lion's mane is majestic and wild, with subtle hints of tousled fur. The overall image is rendered in bold, high-contrast black and white tattoo-style strokes, with the possibility of one or two small, strategically placed pops of deep crimson or golden hues to add visual interest. The lion's eyes are fierce and commanding, with a piercing gaze that seems to jump off the page. The composition is dramatic, with the lion's head posed against a dark, gradient background, subtly gradated to evoke a sense of depth and dimensionality.
