Reflections - First Quarter of 2024: A Journey of Personal Growth and Gratitude As I plan my next quarter and reflect on the first quarter of 2024, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the journey of personal growth and self-discovery I have experienced during this time. For the past few months, I've navigated the uncertain waters of unemployment, a period that, though challenging, has been very enriching and transformative. Despite the initial hurdles and setbacks, I chose to embrace this chapter as an opportunity for introspection, learning, and growth. During this time, I've dedicated myself to cultivating new skills, expanding my knowledge base, and exploring new passions and interests. As I embark on the next chapter of my journey, I carry with me the lessons learned and the wisdom gained, knowing that whatever challenges may come my way, I have the resilience, strength, and support to overcome them. What are you grateful for? Here's to a quarter filled with growth, gratitude, and endless possibilities. May the rest of 2024 be filled with abundance, joy, and fulfillment for us all. #globallinkedinbootcampwithmuthoni #Gratitude #PersonalGrowth #SelfDiscovery #NewBeginnings #LinkedInReflections

Here are 5 questions I’m asking myself as I review 2024: 1. Did my relationships grow, stagnate, or decline? Not in number, but in depth. Am I getting closer to the people around me? Are we helping each other grow? Do our clients feel like they have a good relationship to lean on? 2. What did I learn? I have certainly learned a lot professionally, but often the biggest gains are in other areas. What did I learn about Kelly? What did I learn about God? What did I learn about living in community? 3. Did I become more of the person I hope to be in the future? Am I a better husband? Although we don’t have kids yet, am I becoming the kind of man I would want them to look up to? Am I a better member of my community? Am I better at serving my clients? 4. Did I appreciate the highs of the year as much as I felt the lows? Celebration is not always a strength of mine, so this is maybe more personal to me — but maybe you feel the same! I tend to feel the weight of hard things more than I feel the joy of real blessings, so it’s important for me to ask myself whether I have truly celebrated the highs of the year. 5. Did I achieve the goals I set at the beginning of the year? Every year, Kelly and I set goals in different areas of our life, and we make an intentional effort to review each of them as we look ahead to the next year. Naturally, one of those areas is financial. It's hard to hit targets that don't exist. So not only is setting the target important, it matters to take time to remember where the target is in relation to where you are today. What questions are you asking as you wrap up your year? Here’s to finishing 2024 strong and approaching the new year with clarity and purpose! #Reflection #Growth #2024Reflections

Looking back at the year, my 2024 Word of the year is Change. 2024 was all about embracing change in all its shape and form. As the year winds down, here are a few of my #reflections and #learnings from this year that I thought of sharing with you all. 1)Your #change journey is unique: Change can be a bitter pill to swallow and comparison with others makes it worse. Your change journey is unique to you and how you deal with it is for you to decide. Choose grace, kindness and compassion over speculation, manipulation, incessant cribbing or letting the grapevine sway you. 2) Celebrate small wins: Sometimes the momentous nature of the change tells us to continuously look at the big picture. We tend to forget the micro accomplishments or the ones that are right there in front of us. If no one is looking, make a note of those small wins, give yourself a pat on the back and wait for the right opportunity to shine a spotlight on them. 3) Accept the emotional turmoil: Any sort of change brings its share of uncertainties and fear. Accept that some days will be hard and emotions will play truant. Rather than fighting every emotion, make peace with the constant sense of anxiety that comes with change and let go of your natural instinct to control every single thing! Easier said than done though, but worth a try! 4) Stay close to your #purpose: Building a legacy for yourself in the space where you find your purpose can be a great unlock. Creating an impact in the communities can help in putting things in perspective and keep self-pity at bay. 5) Hold on to your #authentic self: Change might be the only constant. But know that at the end of the day, your only constant is your core, authentic self. At the face of change, be flexible to evolve but don’t bend backwards to fit in. When things are changing around you, be your own anchor with a smile on your face! Oh by the way, did you know that the Oxford Word of the Year 2024 is Brain Rot? But that's a conversation for another day! As I sign off for this year, I wish you a restful holiday season and a fantastic New Year! See you on the other side! #reflections #2024lookback #change #perspectives

Reflecting on 2024: A Journey of Growth, Lessons, and Gratitude Every year comes with its own set of highs and lows- moments that make us smile and those that test our strength. This year, like every other, taught me something new every single day, either through my own experiences or by learning from the people around me. 2024 has been a rollercoaster of emotions. The most painful moment was losing my mother a loss that words cannot express. Her absence has been an emotional journey, teaching me the depth of love and the power of resilience. On the brighter side, this year has been about growth. I took conscious steps to strengthen my emotional intelligence, embracing the highs and lows with a stronger mindset. But I didn’t walk this path alone. I am deeply grateful to the people around me—friends, colleagues, and mentors. who supported me through the toughest moments and celebrated the little victories with me. Your encouragement, understanding, and kindness have been my pillars of strength, and I cannot thank you enough for being there. Now, as December wraps up this chapter, I find myself reflecting deeply. What were the moments that defined your year? Who were the people who stood by your side? Let’s turn this into a space for sharing, connecting, and learning from each other’s stories. I’d love to hear about your journey—drop a comment and let’s reflect together! Here’s to the lessons we’ve learned, the people who’ve supported us, and stepping into 2025 with gratitude and hope. #Reflections2024 #Gratitude #GrowthJourney #SupportSystem #LifeLessons #SelfGrowth #yourstory #tellyourstory

2024 has been quite the journey! It was challenging, for sure, filled with ups and downs. I had to sit with ambiguity, uncertainty, and all the emotions that came with them. Some days were about rejection, others about appreciation. I kept reminding myself: “The past is gone, the future isn’t here, all we have is now.”  And it wasn’t always easy. There were moments of feeling both empowered and helpless, low and high, but I learned to embrace them all. Life’s twists can be tough, but they’re all part of the ride! This year also gave me quite a bit of time to just sit with my thoughts. I’ve learned to watch them come and go without judgment. It's amazing how powerful it can be sometimes to simply let thoughts flow freely without feeling the need to act on them! And once again, I’ve been reminded of the magic that happens when we nurture our connections. Friendship really is the ultimate biohack! As Simon Sinek puts it, those close relationships give us the validation and support we need to navigate life’s ups and downs. And while the disappointments were there, so were the awe-filled moments of wonder. And no, contrary to what the "system" tries to make us believe, no one is an isolated island and the idea of the self-made man is a fallacy. True strength lies in being together! So, despite all the confusion, I also felt a deep sense of gratitude.  And you know what? As I began to accept that 2024 might be full of question marks, slowly but surely, the answers started to trickle in. Life might be a b*tch, but it’s also a source of growth, wisdom, and beauty. Understanding that cycle, accepting the ambiguity and embracing the messiness of life is key. So, to 2024: thanks for all the lessons you have taught me. To 2025: thank you in advance for the lessons you’ll bring. A heartfelt thank you to those who were close to me this year, whether for a moment or for much longer. Your presence has meant the world. And to each of you reading this - whether you’re at the peak or in the valley of the life rollercoaster - here’s to a good year ahead! Own your story, wherever you are in life. Happy New Year!

Reflecting on the First Half of 2024 As we reach the midpoint of the year, it's a perfect time to pause and reflect on the goals we set for ourselves at the beginning of 2024. Have you hit your first half-year goals? I know I set both personal and business goals, and wow, has the year flown by quickly. Life has a way of throwing curveballs at us, doesn't it? Love, loss, and so much more can interfere with our plans and make achieving our goals a real challenge. But perhaps it's in these moments of struggle and adversity that we truly grow. They say with age comes wisdom - maybe it's about learning to adapt, pivot, and persevere in the face of obstacles. For me, I live by the motto, "get knocked down, but get up again (and learn something along the way)." It's all about resilience, learning from setbacks, and using those lessons to fuel future success. So, I'm curious - did you achieve your goals for the first half of the year? What successes did you celebrate, and what lessons did you learn along the way? Looking ahead to the second half of 2024, I'm setting new goals, both personally and professionally. I believe in setting ambitious yet achievable goals - goals that push me out of my comfort zone but are within reach with hard work and dedication. As we embark on the next six months, let's continue to strive for growth, resilience, and success. Here's to making the most of the remainder of 2024 and embracing the challenges and opportunities that come our way. Cheers to setting new goals and chasing our dreams! 💪 #GoalSetting #Reflect #Resilience #GrowthMindset #NewBeginnings #SecondHalfOf2024 #ChaseYourDreams #jointhepipeline #onejobatatime
