For Yourself
I had a moment of realisation over the weekend.I'm sure you will relate to this in your busy day-to-day lifestyles.
For most of this year I've been working from one thing to another. Focusing on many different aspects of my life from personal growth, my relationship with my family and partner, my business and the impact I'm having.
For most of the year I've been working so hard to make everything work that I was missing out on appreciating the most important aspects of all of it. Enjoying the process.
I was so busy trying to achieve so much that I had not been working on some of my core values of just living in the moment and being grateful for life.
As my partner (who is a clinical psychologist) put it to me in a metaphor about travel, which worked specifically for me as I'm very passionate about it.
"You spend so much time collecting stamps that you are forgetting about enjoying the conversations and experiences along the way".
This could not be more perfect and more accurate. I was spending so much time trying to do so much only to not celebrate the amazing things along the way.
In the next section, I'll share one of my proudest achievements of the year and help you create the reflection you need for yourself and your family too.
Teach
In 2022, I started a podcast called Generation Get To It. If you haven't listened to it, it's a podcast with inspiring and knowledgable role models and researchers that focuses on improving ourselves to improve the next generation. You can check it out on?SPOTIFY?or?APPLE PODCASTS.
MY BIG PROUD MOMENT... I was in the top 10 podcasts for 51 people! I was the top 5 podcasts for 37 people!
And I WAS THE TOP PODCAST FOR 7 PEOPLE!!!

This may not seem like much but it is the top 1% of podcasts in the world! The most important thing though...
...After all the conversations and research I read along the way, I forgot that I was learning so much along the way. I've shaped so much of my teen mentoring to much of the knowledge along the way. It's amazing what you can achieve if you can just enjoy the process.
So I ask you, what are you being caught up in to achieve the end goal? Only to be missing out on the best bit!
THE PROCESS OF DOING IT!
This is a great lesson for our kids and something I remind them of constantly.
So I urge you to #1 listen to my podcast ?? and #2 have a moment of reflection with your family to appreciate these moments.
