Dear 2026, Let's Lead with Peace

Dear 2026,

Happy New Year to you!

How did you get here so fast? Is it because the world keeps moving at warp speed?

We text. We email. We post. We respond instantly. It’s addictive. But all that activity isn’t what we really need.

What we need from you, 2026, is PEACE. Not perfection. Not constant reaction. Peace. Peace and quiet. Peace of mind. Inner peace. Peaceful discourse. Making peace with a decision.

This kind of peace takes time. Time to think deeply. To focus without distraction, so we can make better decisions at home, at work, and in the world.

However you find it, through prayer, intention, positive energy, or even a conversation with the universe, peace becomes visible in how we pay attention to one another, how we listen, especially when we disagree. And how we respond and treat people with dignity and respect.

So, 2026, let’s be clear. Peace doesn’t come from reacting faster. It comes from the discipline to pause and the courage to choose our words. That’s the work of The Confidence Project.

In 2026, let’s choose words that build trust and have conversations that are meaningful, engaging, and even fun, so we can move forward together.

So, 2026, here’s our commitment:

We’ll speak with intention. We’ll listen with respect. And we’ll lead with peace.   

Happy New Year, 2026.

Peace and sincerely,

- Tracy
