When I wake up, before I reach for my social media or go downstairs to make coffee… I lay in bed and think about the last couple of days (and all the things that happened) and then all the things I get to do today (and for the next couple of days).
It’s a little trick that reminds me to be grateful for every moment.
It reminds me how lucky I am and how I need to be thankful for every incredible opportunity. It also gives me the oomph to get out of bed and start another incredible day.
So here goes… here are some things that I am thankful for that happened in the last 24 hours.
Woolworths has rolled out the take a bag/leave a bag initiative and ACTUALLY CREDITED ME! Yes, they mentioned me in their press release! How flipping cool??? Not the credit but the fact that they are rolling this out to over 200 stores. That means you can now take a bag/leave a bag at over 400 SPARS and at 200 Woolies!!!!!
I finished the new season of the Handmaid’s Tale. And I love where it’s going. Looking forward to Season 6, which should be coming in 2023!
I got to do 4 talks this week (and a really cool TV interview), plus I wrote articles and got to be on radio, and, and, and… good grief, I really, really love my job. I give thanks for this every single day.
I somehow landed up on the front page of a magazine!!! I didn’t even know. They interviewed me a couple of weeks ago… and then boom! I became a cover model overnight. Who knew? Hello serious Brent in a blue suit!
My Twitter reached 50,000 followers. I have no cooking clue how, and yes, Good Things Guy has over 2,5 million readers a month (which is crazy) but my publication is built to tell other people's stories... these 50,000 people follow me on the Twitter space to read my opinions. WTF. Mind-blowing.
The PRIDE armband initiative website went live… yes, we did it! We gave away 100 armbands and now you can order your own on a website that deals with the pick up/delivery and everything. Visit my “link tree” for more info: https://linktr.ee/BrentLindeque
Oh, I’m about to hop out of bed and pack my new “Freedom” bag for its first trip… we’re off to Sun City to celebrate the Palace’s 30th birthday!!! Yes, living in luxury this weekend. Catch me on the beach later!
Massive thanks for today. For Dezemba vibes. For NOT being part of Phala Phala. For a career that I absolutely love. For my family, friends and all the acquaintance in between. Just all the thanks.
So go on… before you start your day, think about all the things you are grateful for. All the cool stuff you get to do, and all the lekker things that are coming your way.
I promise you, you will start with 1 thing and the next thing you know, you’ll be smiling ear to ear with all the happiness in your life.
That’s it. A flipping magazine cover. LOL.
Okay. Love you. Bye.
