Be Your Own Biggest Fan in 2025
Share
Are You a Superfan of Yourself?
In 2025, you have to be your biggest fan. There are going to be times when your dreams feel too big, your goals seem too far away, and the support you expected never comes. That’s when self-belief becomes non-negotiable.
If you learn to cheer for yourself, you’ll never feel like you didn’t have support—because you always believed in you.
Too often, we know more about our favorite teams, athletes, or celebrities than we do about our own potential. People can rattle off injury reports, betting odds, and game strategies but can’t answer simple questions about their personal goals. Do you know yourself as well as you know your favorite team? Are you preparing for your future with the same dedication as you prepare for game day?
If not, it’s time to change that.
Get Off the Sidelines of Your Own Life
I have a friend who spent 48 hours preparing food for a Super Bowl party. He put in the time, the effort, and the attention to detail—yet, just days earlier, he was asking me for career advice, unsure of his next move.
That’s not a knock on him—it’s a reality check for all of us. We invest time and energy into things we enjoy, but how often do we invest that same energy into ourselves?
If you want to be a champion in your life, you can’t just be a spectator. You can’t just sit on the sidelines, cheering for others while hoping success magically finds you. You have to get in the game. You have to train, prepare, and put in the work like the MVP of your own life.
Cheer for Yourself—and for Others Who Need It
Being your biggest fan doesn’t mean ignoring the success of others—it means lifting them up, too. True leadership isn’t about getting all the credit; it’s about creating a winning environment for those around you.
There are people in your life right now—friends, family, co-workers—who need your encouragement. Their goals might not be flashy, but they matter. Maybe someone is trying to get healthier, start a business, or simply build confidence. Be the person who cheers for them.
If you want to make a difference today, reach out to someone and let them know you support them. Encourage them, believe in them, and remind them that their goals are worth pursuing.
It’s Time to Put Yourself in the Game
I watched as grown men celebrated Super Bowl wins with tears in their eyes, as if they were the ones on the field. And I couldn’t help but ask—when will we celebrate our own victories like that?
What has to happen for you to start treating your own wins with the same passion? To be the quarterback of your own life, instead of watching from the stands?
You are capable. You do have what it takes. But you have to step onto the field. You have to be willing to play, to take hits, to adjust your strategy, and to fight for your own success.
In 2025, don’t let your emotional stability depend on the actions of others. Be the one making plays for your future. Cheer for yourself. And most importantly—believe that you deserve to win.
