This past week was my 40th birthday!
The start of a new era many say... when time catches up to you and life starts to slow down somewhat.
The start of the back 9, if life were a golf game.
I was showered with congratulations and would like to say thank you to everyone for all your messages and calls. You made me feel truly special.
I celebrated with my beloved family and many close friends from all chapters of my life. It was such a privilege to have so much love in one room.
To realize how my life has touched so many others and how they have touched and shaped mine...
It got me thinking about the past 40 years of my life. What it meant and why I have the life I have.
About how blessed I am for the parents I had, the foundations of hard work, family, education, love and values that were instilled in me.
The choices made, lessons learnt, people I met, chances I took and experience gained.
While also thinking about the next 40 years (God willing) of my life and what they will look like.
What will the next chapter of my life look like?
I have realized more than ever that life is all about connection and impact. As we move through life we are on a path to becoming a certain version of ourselves.
To build a life we dream of and hopefully to make a meaningful mark on others and the world.
Who we spend that time with, listen to, learn from and strive to emulate will shape the choices we make and the direction we take.
I have decided that this year we'll aim to refocus on building more meaningful connections, from a place of peace.
To make time for people and their needs & not get caught up by the noise of this world and pressures of this life.
To have the conversations that matter; about life, love, family and yes, business and finances.
To share our knowledge and experience about property freely and often to enable and empower others to make the right decisions in our existing relationships, within our families and with our friends, colleagues and clients.
I would like to invite you to reach out to us as a company and to me personally. Feel free to talk to us, ask questions, engage with us, message us and be part of our story in whatever way suits you.
As we continue to walk this blessed road together to re-imagine our industry, our lives and our world by putting people first, in all things.
Yours in property.
