Dear {{contact.first_name}}
Looking back at 2024 it has been a year of mixed emotions and major historical events.
Relief that we have survived a challenging year.
Remembrance of those we lost.
Gratitude for all the positive changes.
Reflection on the significance of this year.
Excitement about new and better days ahead.
2024 reminded us that the will of the people still matters.
Democracy is not dead and all the noise in the world will not silence the voices of reason or stop the will of the people.
As AI grows in prominence and machines keep getting smarter, it is a relief that the competition has indeed spurred humanity to start making better choices.
To choose light over darkness and hold leaders who are driven by their corrupt & globalist agendas to account.
The rise in the prominence of grass roots politics and policies and good old fashioned values has been a breath of fresh air to a world on moral life support. Doing what is right and what works still matters and always will.
We were reminded that freedom is not free and justice is not without great cost.
My favourite quote rang true:
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.
Nearly 50% of the people on earth gathered their collective courage and overwhelmingly voted for change at the ballot box.
We continue to hope that children can begin to regain their innocence and unborn babies their right to life as generations battle a mental health pandemic.
That lies can continue to be exposed and those who follow the path of wickedness be cast out.
In my own life, I learned 5 great lessons I would like to share as I look back on 2024.
1. In business, politics, family and life, everything rises and falls on leadership.
Without strong Godly leadership we are doomed to dark times, so stand up and support & be strong Godly leaders. Political policies, social trends, market movements and economics are not random. They are driven by powerful forces and people. The hidden hand as it used to be called. We need to understand the ways of the world while making our voices heard and finding/ building better solutions for the future.
2. Everything done in the darkness will be exposed: discernment is the foundation of wisdom.
We need to think deeply and listen carefully to what we read and hear. Discerning what is right and what is wrong and the people and agendas behind what is said & done. With scams, lies and fakes of every kind multiplying and AI changing the game, nothing can be taken at face value any more. Do your research, find trusted sources and people and know what the real thing looks like.
3. The greatest strength of humanity is revealed in our darkest hours.
When the opportunity comes to enact positive change, be prepared, be decisive, and act with a single-minded purpose. The power of the human spirit cannot be overcome and we can rise up to overcome overwhelming odds through faith.
Be you
be kind
Be honest
Be wise
Be strong and courageous
Above all be human.
It is what you were made to be.
4. All bananas are equal, but some are more equal than others.
In a world gone mad, remember your duct tape! We have seen the start of a rise in the collective consciousness of humanity this year. A new generation yearning for more than just stuff and hype.
A longing to dream again, to live again, to love again.
The early beginnings of a shift in priorities from vanity to purpose. The young (and old) want to hope again for a brighter sustainable future, that we can create together if we all play our part. A future where people matter and reason prevail.
5. Purpose over politics.
Never, ever, ever stop doing what is right. Especially when it is hard and do not give up. "Evil triumphs when good men fail to act." Thomas Jefferson. Do not let the evil words and deeds of others sway you. Stay the course, finish the race and in the end, you will overcome. Most of us were fighting battles many will never know about. 2024 Was a war for the future on every front. The good news is things are changing and the good guys are winning. As long as we keep shining our lights the darkness will not overcome it.
May you have a blessed Christmas and restful holiday and a new year. You earned it!
