Every so often, a year arrives not merely as a calendar change, but as a moral summons. I believe 2026 is one of those years. Not because of who may be elected, what markets may do, or what technologies may disrupt—but because of who we choose to become. If we are serious about reclaiming sanity, strength, and purpose in our lives and our nation, then 2026 must become the year of what I call the Elevation Principle.

The Elevation Principle is simple in definition; but demanding in practice: start where you are—and elevate. Elevate your thinking. Elevate your skills. Elevate your relationships. Elevate your understanding of the world, of one another, and ultimately, of God. This is not about perfection. It’s about progress. It’s about refusing to stay intellectually lazy, morally stagnant, or spiritually disengaged.

At its core, the Elevation Principle rests on three pillars: knowledge basis, skill proficiency, and people ability.

These three together form the foundation for meaningful personal growth—and for national renewal.

This is not a call for elites. It is a call for everyone. You. Me. All of us. Starting exactly where we are.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be inviting readers to take this journey more intentionally—to learn, to grow, to elevate together. Because the truth is this: 2026 will be whatever we decide to make it.

The question is simple.

Will we stay where we are—or will we rise?
