As I start the year off preparing for what I plan to achieve and share with you this coming year, I came across an article I wrote 2 years ago but never published.
I thought back and wondered why I wrote these inspirational thoughts?
On reflection, it was because at that time my Dad lost 3 of his brothers (my uncles) and his best mate all in the same year and who were all in their 70’s.
I also realised that last year I wrote a ton of stuff whether it be educational or inspirational but sadly never shared it with you my reader.
So today is the day that I promise to share more financial and mindset content that in the hope helps and benefits people in my community.
Here’s what I’ve learned these past 12 months:
1. Random acts of kindness are rare today. When you do something nice for someone without expecting anything in return, you may have just brightened up their day without knowing it.
2. If someone is unkind to you unless you’ve done something terribly horrible to them – it’s not about you – it’s about them and the challenges they may be facing behind the scenes.
3. Don’t judge anybody or any situation – you never know what someone is going through. Just because they put on a brave and smiling face, it doesn’t mean they are having a good time at life!
4. True friends are the ones that after months of not seeing them – don’t get upset or offended but greet you as if they just saw you the other day.
5. If people don’t acknowledge you – it’s ok. They may not have seen you like you think they have or if they have – possibly have a lot on their mind.
6. Money may not grow on trees – however if you work not only hard but smart – you will be growing your own tree that will look after you for many years to come.
7. Treasure the loved ones in your life – as you never know how long they will be here for.
8. When you look at exercise in a different way, other than to lose weight – amazing transformations happen – not only physically but your mind becomes super fit and sharp. Now that’s a bonus worth exercising for!
9. Love where you live – no matter on the size of your house or location. When you really love where you live – happiness appears from the corners of each room.
And, stop and smell the roses – I mean REALLY stop and smell the roses and get out in nature. It’s God and the Universe’s way of showing you all the beauty that surrounds you daily!
So while I wrote this 2 years ago, it still rings true for me today and has become even more important for me to follow the steps to achieve more happiness and fun in my life.
What have you learned over the past 12 months that you’ve decided you don’t want anymore and long to bring more of this year?
Leave me a comment below as I’d love to hear.
So until next time, wishing you more health, wealth and happiness this year.
