The end of the year is approaching and I have the honor of writing the last blog of the year 2020. A year where we have all been tested on our resilience and flexibility. Because I don't think many people at the beginning of this year could have predicted that it would be such a year. In fact, I'm sure for many people this should have been the golden year. Investments were planned, growth was imminent and so on.
But now look back at the beginning of this year, how much did you have planned with regard to personal growth, better vitality, growth in physical strength, finding a good balance between business and private life, and so on?
I am currently regularly asked: this must have been an unpleasant year for you, Marvin? Especially because you operate in sports! My answer is a surprise to many people, because I always answer that this has been my best year in a long time. It just has everything to do with how you adapt in such situations.
Yes, I had every opportunity to throw in the towel.
Yes, I could have come up with all the reasons to quit all this I'm doing.
Yes, I had all the evidence for a disappointing business year.
And yes, there are companies that have had to take a lot of losses. Also in the sports industry.
Now turn this around. Because in almost all situations I entered the story with a different mindset.
This was the year where opportunities abounded, health and vitality has never been discussed as blatantly as this year. Improving your immune system and ensuring a healthy weight were two of the topics. Let us help people with that, by moving and exercising. I have also been forced to do work at home, which has allowed me to learn all kinds of new things and therefore develop personally. We started giving online training. I've been doing something new every day during the lockdowns. And so on.
January 1 is just around the corner and everyone is hoping for the year where we go back to normal. The year that we can do everything we did again.
Why is everyone taking this date for a change?
Why not just start when you want?
Why not look every day at the possibilities and the changes that are needed?
Now ask yourself the following 3 questions:
What are my core values?
What will I specifically change to take action more quickly next year?
What are you going to do immediately to see the first results before January 1?
I sincerely hope these questions get you thinking. And that the year 2021 will be a year in which you will continue to contribute to the core values that you set for yourself. Because this is the only way you can make it your best year and adjust immediately when necessary.
