That’s a Wrap… 25 Wins for 2021!
With only two more days left of 2021, I have been sitting back and reflecting on the year that was. From my reflections I have come up with the best way to describe the year 2021, a ROLLERCOASTER of EMOTIONS!
With so many highs and so many lows on a personal level, from getting married, to deaths in the family and amongst friends, to lockdowns and business closing/re-opening…
The year has provided myself with many lessons and teachings, however even with so many lows, I have also had a heap of highs…
Every year I go through the top 25 wins for the year on a personal level and even with a tumultuous year like 2021, I was still able to find 25 wins to share with you today, so here it goes…

The year 2021 has been a profound year for most, I am sure of it, we have all started to understand the importance of the environment we surround ourselves with. Which has led to a lot of personal revelations for a lot of people, which is why I believe that 2022 is going to be an amazing year.
The year is going to be busy and fly by, but I know that 2022 is going to be huge!!
My next blog will be on my goals for 2022 and how to actually you can set goals for yourself as well, in the meantime, I would love to hear your wins for the year. You may not do 25, but even if you aim for 10, the main thing is to sit down and reflect on your year.
You can use this time of reflection to understand more about yourself and even help you to shape your 2022!
Until next time,
Take Back Control
