As I stand on the last day of the year, I would like to share a summary of this year with my network since it was an eye opener for me. Strangely enough, it put everything in perspective. I became acutely aware of the fact that all goals, dreams, achievements and accomplishments are relative. Having learnt that, I have ever since been acutely aware of the balance between the professional and the personal life. Here are my key take aways in 2022: 1. Health and well- being (both physical and mental) are essential and non negotiable. It motivates me to take time out for some kind of physical activity or meditation at least every alternate day. 🧘🏼‍♂️ 2. Take time out for one act of kindness everyday without expecting anything in return. It can be as small as helping someone with some information or lending an ear to someone in anguish, but no act of kindness is too small.👂🏼 3. As important it is to succeed in your endeavours, it is more important to build long lasting relationships on and off work that transcend the transactional. I owe my sanity in this year to few such gems in my life.🫶🏼 Last but not the least, I am super grateful to all those in my circle who made this difficult year worthwhile for me and you words of encouragement throughout 2022. You know who you are!🙏🏼 Wishing my network a healthy and Happy New Year and hope you all find success and opportunities in 2023.💫 Martin Vogt ✭Explore. Dream.
