54 Lessons 2022 Taught Me

Hello and Happy New Year!

I hope you’re healthy, happy and in high spirit as we settle for a new amazing 2023!

I trust you’ve taken the needed time to renew, rethink and replan.

2022 was a challenging year for many of us. Personally, it was a year of many challenges and many opportunities. As I always say in life there are only opportunities as every "failure' teaches us different ways to live, think, work and love.

So I'd like to share the lessons I learned in 2022 and hopefully they will inspire you to reflect on your own:

1. Change is the perfect time to reevaluate one's mission and purpose and focus on building courage, fearlessness, and service to many. Intentional change is better but any change is just as good. #changeisinevitable

2. A toxic environment of any kind (working, personal...) can destroy good people. #youdeservebetter

3. You can tell a bully from a leader by the way they treat their people. #speakupormoveon

4. Every person can teach us a lesson no matter their background or education level. #respectall

6. Learning is not a place, it is an activity. #lovetolearnandwin

7. Getting healthy and fit is the one habit that supports and lifts every other habit. #healthiswealth
