As I write this to you, I become aware of the "momentum" I am living in my life. It is amazing how 2021 also flew by and again we are almost closing out the year. While our lives changed drastically last year, I think I can say that we are in a better place than we were a year ago. I wish you can look back and that the balance of everything is positive.

On my side I want to tell you that, even being a very difficult year in every way, I have progressed in all the important areas of my life and achieved some goals that were crucial to keep moving forward; this, based on many drastic adjustments that were the catalyst for those results and therefore, today I want to talk to you that just as the calendar 2021 gives way to 2022, we must give space to the new and I hope these words will empower you to do so:

• You must be willing to say goodbye to the old: one of the things that I constantly repeat is the importance of asking ourselves what is not working for us to stop doing it because if we keep doing the same thing, it is impossible to have new results. I understand that many times to stop doing something is very difficult and we are overcome with fear but it is the only way not only to embrace the future, but also to take advantage of it. Remember that you are not here to live an average life, you are here to live a meaningful life full of extraordinary moments.

Even if the change is not easy and rather uncomfortable, you should be ready for it.

• You must be willing to adjust your paradigms: In the periods of my life where I have made the least progress have been those where I have embraced toxic thoughts that prevent transformation in my life and the only way out of them is to do the work of creating new paradigms or mental frames of reference that support me in seeing all the possibilities in my life. It is not possible for us to create new things until we change the way we see the path to get to those things. Once you make room for new ways of thinking, it is only then that you are ready for the new in your life.

• You must embrace the new: I started this article by telling you that I was excited about everything that has been happening in my life and with certainty I tell you that none of that would have happened if I had not been open to all possibilities, to seeing dreams achieved not in one way but in many and knowing that more is always possible in my life.

Remember this: what you are willing to pursue will be yours. Don't be satisfied with just knowing that better things can happen for you. Have the courage to work for it.

The new has to be perceived and ultimately owned. In other words, grab your future and refuse to let it go. You will regret what you don't reach for. You will extinguish your dreams if you are unwilling to embrace your destiny. The new is within your grasp, but you must grasp it and grasp it hard!
