5 Things I'm Most Thankful For
While I try at all times to be thankful each and every day for the blessings I have, it is this time of the year where most of us will take time to give thanks. While I won't make this a sappy love fest, here are the 5 things I'm most thankful for this year:
1) Family: Always supportative and my biggest cheerleaders. They believed in me when I gave them few reasons to do so.
2) Health: While I could certainly spare to drop a few pounds and increase my daily exercise, I've been quite healthy. The truth is the matter is that if you don't have good health, no matter how much money you have in your bank account, it won't matter one little bit. Our health is the most precious resource we have.
3) Career: Trading full time and doing this website has been a great privilege. Every morning I wake up excited to go to work and the friends and relationships that have gained as a result have been truly incredible.
4) Wealth: My trading performance has been better in previous years but I'm still thankfully moving in the right direction. Our financial situation is both secure and strong enabling us to give more back and occasionally splurge on a few unnecessary things and trips.
5) Challenges: Without our struggles and mistakes, there is no learning and therefore no progress. So, for the times I've failed and that I've been wrong, I'm thankful as they'll help me do better in the years to come.
What are you most thankful for this year?
