New Year Perspectives 2025

Welcome to a special episode of The Great Perspective with Patrick Hoban: “New Year Perspectives.”

In this heartfelt reflection, I share my thoughts and experiences from the past year, especially around Christmas week, and how they’ve shaped my outlook for 2025. Turning 56 and looking ahead to 57, I’ve entered a new season of life—one where health, joy, and meaningful moments take priority over chasing achievements.

I explore why I’ve chosen to avoid making New Year’s resolutions, how past habits led to unhealthy decisions, and how I’ve embraced a fresh attitude for this next chapter. Social media, once a source of connection, has become a burden, reminding me that true happiness comes from deep friendships, prayer, and time with God—not likes or subscribers.

This episode is about slowing down to savor the simple joys: a morning cup of coffee, walks in nature, discovering new things, and living a life rooted in purpose and contentment. It’s not about rushing to write a new book or meet a goal—it’s about enjoying the journey that leads there.

Join me as I share my new perspective for the year ahead and how I’m choosing happiness, one meaningful moment at a time.
