2017 is ending tomorrow and I would like to say, Thank You 2017!

2017 has offered me a lot, I turned 21 and even though I had in my mind that I would make it big this year I kept on failing and learning.

In the end this year was one of the best years of my life because it taught me everything I needed to know to make 2018 better than every year before.

Before I announce my plans for 2018, I would say thanks for everything I am grateful for because you can’t get more unless you appreciate what you already have.

Blessings don’t need to be related to money, sometimes even the right book or the right person is a blessing in it of itself and I always remind myself to be grateful for those as well.

So here are a few things I am grateful for:

1. I am grateful for being in good health with every single cell in my body working perfectly as far as I know right now!

2. I am grateful for being surrounded by great people who support me, guide me and keep me moving further, you know who you are, thank you!

3. I am grateful for all the naysayers, haters and people who dislike me, you are the reason I keep growing, keep adding fuel to the fire!

4. I am grateful for the opportunity that everyone one of us has that allows us to change our lives for the better, don’t sleep on it in 2018!

5. I am grateful to the “giants” on whose shoulders I am able to stand, if it weren’t for you I wouldn’t be here, all the books, mentors and the experiences.

6. I am grateful that I could make more money in a month than what most people get in a year, this is just the starting of what I am capable of!

7. I am grateful for all the people who left my life, all the missed opportunities and the mishaps, if it weren’t for you, amazing things wouldn’t have happened!

8. I am grateful that I didn’t give up even though I had the reason to every single day of the entire year when nothing seemed to be working for me!

9. I am grateful that I have warm food, a roof over my head and shoes to wear, you have no idea how many people in this world don’t have these blessings, appreciate them!

10. I am grateful that I failed a lot if it had not happened I wouldn’t be at the place where I am right now, and I am not even started yet!

I will forever be grateful for everything going on and I have in my life and what I don’t have but I will never be satisfied because there is always room for more!

With that said,

Let’s plan for 2018 and make it the biggest year of our life!

Let me know what you are grateful for in the comments below or message me and we will make 2018 the best year together!
