2024, a year of reflection.

 When I ask you to describe what 2024 meant to you, what do you think of? Do you think of the personal growth/development that you have had, the problems that you have conquered? or are you just happy that you got through the year in one piece? Yes, you might have had bumps along the way, but do you feel proud of yourself knowing that you have made it through another year. 

The one word I think of when I think of the past year is "progress". The progress that has been made in every facet of life, whether it is in your career path, social life, family life or maybe it was a personal goal that you wanted to achieve, like reading a certain amount of books within the year, reconnecting with someone that you haven't connected with in a while or trying to help a family member through something that they are going through. 

In 2024, we have endured a lot of unknown situations that we have had to maneuver about, each situation has helped to shape us into the people we were throughout the year, challenging us in the toughest of times while internally building our confidence with each and every hour that passed. 

Like with every year wrap up, you reflect on what you have done and could do better in the year ahead while knowing that the ultimate end goal is to progress, whether that is in your job, hobbies/interests or your relationships with other people. The key is to find what your motivation is and plan out how you are going to achieve the goals that you set out for yourself. 

As we embark on a new year, what areas did you like from 2024 that you will be carrying into 2025, how can you improve yourself in these areas and what areas are you looking forward to dropping and leaving in 2024. 

Make sure you enjoy the year 2025 and continue to grow/develop in the ways that you would like to.

Take The Time!

 We often do not take the time that is needed to heal ourselves from the hustle and bustle that life throws at us. In fact, we say that we embrace the challenge but we often do not know what that is doing to our mental/overall well being.  When you are young, you think you can go forever and although that may seem true to most, it is not at all the case. I am a strong believer in the saying "age is just a number" because in hindsight, it is just a numerical value you are given everyday at your birth that keeps going up and up.  How you feel inside and your overall spirit really determines how you really feel. What you put into your body that is like a machine, how you take care of yourself and what you spend your downtime on really is the determination/deciding factor on how you are going to feel. Yes, we all have challenges in life and in situations that we are put in or get put in, but if we remind ourselves to just live everyday like it is our last, we will all have a ...

CONTRAST BETWEEN SPORTS AND INFLATION

 With every facet of your life costing more and more and trying to balance everything like a teeter totter, the one area that is often overlooked is the inflation cost of sports . Working in a industry that is promoting sports for the bettermint of ones health and well-being and being an avid soccer player myself even if it is just house league adult soccer , my mind often shifts to the fact that some people can't afford to play as a result of the rising impact on inflation in sports and it pains me to see this.  Yes, we have funding programs for kids that want to participate in sports but we have to make concrete solutions not temporary fixes and we have to come up with solutions fast. The solution on inflation the cost of a program going up is not clear to navigate and just becasue the cost of something gets in the way of what a child might love to do everyday, doesn't make it right that they cannot play the sport they love. Yes, life is cruel and society is pressing, but so...

Inflation, Spending Habits and Your Positive Initiative

 Do you ever wonder how much inflation has impacted our spending habits and our overall society? It is often a question that I have pondered when going out in about and observing the prices at stores and peoples spending habits.  I really think about my own spending habits and wonder where I can save money in different avenues of my life while still maintaining a social life but I realize that life costs money and if I want to live, I must spend a bit to fulfill some sort of happiness.  The pandemic along with different life events have shaped the Canadian economy for years to come and this will be our new normal but it isn't all bad some will say. We are living, have a roof over our heads and can get to the next day without having to think about what could be or what if something happens.  Some people are not as fortunate and it's definitely tough out there for a lot of people, so be courteous of others and spread a smile or 2 along the way this holiday season. Life...
