A Month of Gratitude 2024: Day 1

Welcome December! It’s been a very long minute since I last wrote. Work, in particular, has been crazy. It is the 1st day of December, though, and, as I do every year, I will spend this month focusing on being grateful for all the good in my life. As always I hope it inspires you to do the same so that you end the year on a high note.

Three Things I am Grateful for

  1. Today, I want to acknowledge that this year has been extremely challenging in more ways than one. I ran two teams at work and, of course, at home, I have been parenting a sixteen-year-old. The stress of it all has impacted my health somewhat, which stressed me even further. The good news is that, despite the challenges on every front, I am still standing. I am so grateful for this. God has been good to me.
  2. I have gained new skills as a manager and a leader. I have also gained a new understanding of social media and how things work through leading my agile squad. I have learned that although things change, there are some things that do stay the same.
  3. I am so thrilled and grateful to be writing again, even though this will be a short post. I have missed it.

Hello there! Day 10 of Bloganuary already! Time is flying.

I wrote a post on a similar topic last year and, to be honest, I don’t think I have anything to add or I can top it so here is the link to it: My Favourite Toy…Once upon a time

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing that post.

Knowledge Isn’t Power until it is Applied. – Dale Carnegie

Daily writing prompt
What is your mission?

A mission is an interesting choice of word. One of the definitions is that it is a calling or a vocation. This is a the definition that I will choose to run with today. I usually call it my purpose.

My mission statement is: I am a dynamic life transormer. I educate, enlighten and empower people to unleash their full potential.

I live this statement every day in some shape or form. I read a lot and have studied quite a bit. Through my job, I have access to many courses on Linkedin, Udemy, and our internal digital learning platform, so I have accumulated a lot of knowledge over the years. Dale Carnegie once said that knowledge isn’t power until it is applied. I have taken that to heart and not only make every effort to apply the knowledge that I have acquired but also to pass it on to others where needed.  It gives me the most incredible sense of fulfilment when I see people owning their space and thriving.

I have learned over the years not to pass on knowledge that has not been requested as it is planting seeds on rocky ground. People who seek out the knowledge are more likely to use it and pay it forward by passing it on.

That is my mission in life. I equip people with the knowledge and tools to help them grow.

What is your mission?
