Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals!!!

'Tis the season to be jolly... and a little bit silly! As we dive into the holiday festivities, remember: calories don’t count at Christmas, and neither do bad sweater choices!

May your holidays be filled with laughter, love, and perhaps a few questionable decisions (like that last cookie or two). Just remember, if you hear a jingle in the night, it’s probably just Santa… or the dog trying to steal the turkey!

" ""Who Not How"" – Unlock Your Potential by Changing Your Approach

In the book ""Who Not How"" by Dan Sullivan, we’re challenged to shift from asking “How can I do this?” to asking “Who can help me do this?”

Self-Perception Shapes Reality - our mindset influences every decision, action, and emotion you experience. 🤔✨

When you focus on positivity and growth, you create opportunities, boost your resilience, and manifest a life that aligns with your goals. On the other hand, negative thoughts can hold you back, cloud your perspective, and influence your outcomes.

Remember, your thoughts are powerful. Choose them wisely. 💭
