Family, friends, acquaintances, and readers,
Thank you for making 2022 a momentous year. I have said this many times, but this year has been one of the best I have ever had. Throughout the year, there have been boundless opportunities. Each opportunity was an open door to abundance. I am thankful for each open door, but I am also thankful for you.
Wise men have said you are the sum of your five closest friends. Technology has brought us closer than in years past. Over 2022, we have established relationships, restored relationships, and strengthened others.
To those I have been friends with for a while now, I thank you for your support, encouragement, and love over the time we have known each other. To my new friends, I thank you for making this journey together. It is my prayer we will all, new friends, and old friends, learn to walk in simplicity, but in hope of a brighter future.
I am not a prophet, but the future is bright. I genuinely believe this is the greatest time to be alive and we have much to look forward to in the years to come. To this end, I welcome your moments of encouragement and strength as we walk together.
Over the past year, being one of the best, I have discovered the road is easier when you take a moment to breathe and renew your hope. Our hope is great, and the best days are ahead of us if we move with vigor, courage, and steadfastness.
2023 can be one of the best years in which we have ever lived… but we must want it and act on it.
The coming year will be like all the others: blessings mixed with opportunity. We must know where to look. It is upon us to open our eyes to see through the storm and find the light. While the chaos of the world will continue, we can find the anchor of the soul.
What will we need in 2023?
You! In this world, we need you, but we also need an improved version of you. While the “10-year-ago” version of you was good, we need the 2023 Growing Stronger You. The world needs the version of you that is growing stronger.
The world needs great people. I believe that 98.7% are good people. There are 1.3% of people who make things difficult, and we need to move past them to the 98.7%. We must find those looking to grow better and become united. We must find this unity in a hope greater than us.
Those growing stronger in 2023 will need open eyes. Your open eyes will allow you to look beyond the circumstances of the moment and to the greater life ahead. The future is bright. We must not allow the present, nor the past cannot distract our eyes.
With open eyes comes a strong mind. What goes into our minds settles in our hearts and comes out in our actions. Our actions follow the strong beliefs of our mind and the emotions of the heart. Our minds contain our core beliefs. As we walk this 2023 journey, we need people of strong mind and strong beliefs.
As I said previously, I am not a prophet, but I am an observer. In the next year, people will search. They will search for mental health, physical health, emotional health, and spiritual health. The past several years have been weary for many. Their minds need enrichment beyond what the past offered. Instead, they will search with forward focused eyes.
People have a longing. Their longing is for better times and brighter days. When we strengthen our minds, renew our hope, and cast our eyes on the future, we will become a shining light in the world. The brightness of hope will overshadow the challenges of the present.
The hope we have is not “seen hope.” It is a hope that is not seen. If we see the hope for which we aspire, then it is not hope. Hope in the present is only a wish. The hope the world needs is beyond this present age. It is the faith we have in the future, knowing that things will be better.
This coming year, I challenge you.
I challenge you to make things better than last year.
I challenge you to reach your potential and not settle for average.
You are a limited edition who can reach unlimited heights.
Thanks for listening.
Let us close this year in the next few days and use the momentum of 2022 to crush 2023.
Thank you for being my family, my friends, my acquaintances, and my readers.
May you be blessed!
