I\u2019m an avid book reader, and one of the books I\u2019m currently reading is \u201cThe Gap and The Gain\u201d by Benjamin Hardy, PhD and Dan Sullivan. The premise and teachings throughout the book demonstrate how we each have the ability to choose what we focus on in our businesses and lives, and how being \u201cin the gap\u201d is much harder on us than \u201cbeing in the gain.\u201d Being in the GAIN means you measure yourself backward, against where you were before, instead of against your ideal, which most of us usually don\u2019t achieve, whether it be losing 10 pounds, fulfilling our New Year\u2019s resolutions, or spending more time with our families. When you\u2019re in the GAIN, you focus on what you\u2019ve actually done. Have you lost 3 pounds? Then celebrate that and commit to losing the other 7. Don\u2019t beat yourself up for taking 3 weeks to lose 3 pounds. Once you do, then you free up your mind to focus on better and even more important goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I reflect back on this past year, I\u2019m humbled by the grit, determination, compassion, and banding together of our team, clients, associates, partners, and colleagues. The past almost two years have been challenging for everyone in many ways. I encourage all of us to live in the GAIN of life, faith, freedom, and opportunity as we enter into a brand new year. And THANK YOU to everyone who has brightened our journey along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
