This morning I was reflecting as I have started doing since last year. Going from waking up every New Year hungover as hell to now waking up at 4:30 am journaling and reflecting. I learned more in 2021 than what I learned in many years put together and I am going to share some of those truths here. I wish I could share everything but I would end up with a book…
For the best part of 2021, I can share many things that did not work for me but I am going to focus on the things that did work here which takes us to July/August. This was around the time I decided to start working with a Coach, I knew things would never be the same again!!
Some of the initial things that were being shared were honestly “Airy-Fairy” to me like “SLOW DOWN” … I thought to myself WTF does that mean?? Sit back and wait for things to happen?? That makes no sense but anyway I will try to understand. It took me a few months for that to start, only to start making sense to me.
One thing I started in January 2021 was daily journaling of things in general. At the time it seems silly but now having a year of journaling in word documents it’s really valuable as there are so many things you forget.
You cannot teach a man anything.
You can only help him discover it within himself.

Here are a few things that have changed everything for me:
Serving
When this gets mentioned I and most people have a picture of Mother Teressa. You go around doing things for FREE and never getting paid. What I started learning was the more people or the more powerfully you start serving people the more you actually earn. In fact, the more you let go of outcomes the better.
Being around the right people MATTERS!!!
Through my own coaching, I have connected and become close with really great people. This I have come to learn is so important. This is something we all know but I don’t think we fully understand, I definitely did not.
Slowing Down
As I mentioned before this really made no sense initially. Until I started understanding it’s more about being present, being in the moment all the time (not just when you meditate), being intentional with what you doing. This is not about doing less necessarily but just doing it more with presence. When speaking with someone as an example just BE with that person, don’t try multi-task, etc. That’s slowing down!!
Like I said these are only a few things that stuck out for me in 2021. These principles might be very simple but they have changed who I am!
I would love to know what was the biggest thing or things you learned in 2021?
