of September

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. As the summer months wind down and the fall season begins, September offers the perfect opportunity to refresh your goals and reset your intentions for the last quarter of the year. This month serves as a transition point, both literally and figuratively, from the carefree days of summer to a more focused, structured time ahead.

Research shows that nearly 50% of people revise their New Year’s resolutions by September, as they realize mid-year that their initial goals need tweaking. If you feel like you’ve veered off course, you’re not alone! September is the ideal time to step back, reassess your goals, and realign your focus for the months ahead.

To refresh your goals, start by reflecting on your progress so far. What have you accomplished? What has held you back? Break down your larger goals into smaller, achievable steps for the upcoming months. Focus on quality over quantity, and adjust your plans based on what’s most important to you right now.

September is also a time to re-energize your mindset. According to a study by the University of Scranton, only 8% of people achieve their New Year’s resolutions, but those who stay committed to reassessing their goals are 30% more likely to succeed. So, take this opportunity to reignite your passion, embrace new challenges, and set realistic milestones for your personal, professional, and financial growth.

By the end of September, you’ll not only have a clearer vision for the rest of the year, but you’ll also be equipped with the renewed drive to make your goals a reality. Take a deep breath, refocus, and prepare for an incredible finish to 2025!

September is a month of renewal, reflection, and transformation. As summer fades and autumn approaches, it's the perfect time to recharge, refocus, and set new intentions for the remainder of the year. Here's what makes September special:

• Back to Routine: For many, September marks the return to routines after the summer break. Whether it’s the start of the school year, a return to work, or simply a shift back to regular schedules, September offers a fresh start for personal and professional growth.
• Labor Day (USA, First Monday of September): A holiday to honor the contributions of American workers, Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer. It's a time to celebrate hard work, rest, and the achievements made throughout the year.
• Autumn Equinox (September 23rd): The official start of fall in the Northern Hemisphere, the Autumn Equinox brings equal day and night. This moment of balance is a great time to reflect on your own life balance and reset your goals for the final quarter of the year.
• International Literacy Day (September 8th): A day to promote literacy around the world, this is an opportunity to support reading, education, and knowledge sharing, while recognizing the transformative power of learning.
• Self-Improvement Month: September is dedicated to self-improvement, making it an ideal time to revisit your personal growth goals. Whether it’s developing new skills, pursuing new hobbies, or setting new intentions, September encourages you to take steps toward becoming the best version of yourself.
• World Gratitude Day (September 21st): A day to express gratitude and appreciation for the positive things in your life. Research shows that practicing gratitude can improve mental health, increase happiness, and boost overall well-being.
• National Honey Month (USA): September celebrates the sweet and natural benefits of honey. It's a great time to explore its health benefits, including its antioxidant properties, and enjoy its role in a healthy diet.

September is a time of transition—moving from the warmth of summer to the crispness of fall, both literally and figuratively. It’s a moment to evaluate, plan, and re-align your goals for the rest of the year. As the famous quote by T.S. Eliot goes, "The greatest secret of success is the ability to adapt." September invites you to do just that—adjust, reflect, and position yourself for success as the year progresses.
