If you're like me, then there is no better way to end the year than with family, friends and reflection on all that has happened.
The brain is a very powerful tool, it can help you grow and change your life for the better. I know you might be thinking 'It's not that simple' or 'Gratitude sounds nice but it doesn't gel with my reality'.
So, how can you start? How about with reflecting back on 2021 and sharing here? What are you grateful for?
I'll start.
The year for me has been one of growth, learning and truly flourishing friendships.
Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year!

- Many people think that living in the moment, being grateful for what we have is bullshit. It isn't something that can help change our lives! But facts are facts. Why is this controversial?
- Scientific studies have shown that practicing gratitude has massive benefits. Gratitude helps us feel happier about life, increase health and reduce stress to name a few.
- Gratitude benefits individuals in school, business, sports and relationships!
- Gratitude helps individuals focus on the positive things rather than the negatives ones.

I'll start.
The year for me has been one of growth, learning and truly flourishing friendships.
- First, my family is the most important thing to me in this world. I am so blessed to have a family that is supportive and always there for me, no matter what. Most importantly, I am grateful not only for their support, but that they are healthy and happy.
- Second, I am grateful for my business. 2021 has been a year of prosperity and growth thanks to my amazing team. Our staff helped us get back on track after an uncertain time from the start of the pandemic. Back then we were in a tough spot. I am truly thankful for each and every one of them.
I am thankful for having a business that allows me to spend more time with my my family - even during the weekdays. Time is the most important "asset" we have and spending time watching my kid growing up bring me immense joy. You can always make more money, but not time.
MJ recently had an awesome quote (thanks MJ!):
MJ DeMarco said:
"You can always earn more money, but you can’t make more time. Using TIME for wealth is like your selling body parts for money … at some point, you’ll have no body left to enjoy your millions." - And finally, I can't forget about the friendships that have blossomed this year either. I am so grateful for all the people who helped me in my life, business, pushed me to succeed.
This place, Fastlane Forum, generated some of that! I connected with a few members in "real life" and feel a strong bond of friendship. I've come to realize that the biggest benefit of Fastlane Forum is the people you meet. (for all the new members reading this, take initiative, don't wait to be contacted - it's all in your hands).
How about you folks? What are YOU grateful for? Post your answers.
Merry X-Mas and a Happy New Year!
