For the year that was, 2024 gave me plenty for me to be thankful for,
Which I don't take for granted.
Here are my Top 10:
The gift of life.
Not everyone made it this far in life, so every day is a gift.
I have a roof on top of my head.
Sure, rent takes X% of my monthly salary,
But at least I have a place to call home.
Again, it could've been worse.
I have food to eat.
I'm not at a point where I can order takeout everyday if I wanted to,
Or consistently do Teriyaki ad hoc…
But I have enough that gets me through the night and not go to bed hungry.
I have a loving family and good friends.
The older I grow, the more I appreciate the people in my circle because of the mutual rapport we share.
They sustain me in one way, and I can reciprocate it in the spirit of Ubuntu.
As Les Browns says, "Focus on your OQPs - Only Quality People."
I have a cool job.
15 months ago, I couldn't tell exactly what I was diving into.
But I'm glad I get to play with tech tools for a living and help my clients make the most out of them. (Business Data Analysis)
I have a good camaraderie of colleagues.
I'm thankful for the people I work with, whether it be colleagues or clients.
Through my interactions, I've become a better leader and communicator and have created wonderful working relationships with clients who refer to me more business.
I have mentors.
I have guides who are where I want to be and have done what I want to do.
So, by learning from them, I expedite my dreams in half the time.
And I reciprocate their efforts by reflecting on their advice and becoming (one of) their best mentee(s) yet.
I have mentees.
My mentees motivate me by keeping me accountable for my word,
And I'm honored to be their pillar of support in their growth journeys.
I pray that they succeed more than I ever do.
I can write and communicate.
While I can't judge how proficient my writing is (at least objectively), I can acclaim that my writing and articulation have drastically improved over the last year.
I have a vision.
I'm thankful for the North Star I have that guides me to my desired destination, and everything I do daily leads up to it.
I pray that you too may have a peaceful Thanksgiving.
God bless you, and have a good one.
Peace,
.
