Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. All right, today we're gonna be exploring the power of reflection and how revisiting your past can actually help you appreciate the blessings of the present. So sometimes looking back can be the key to understanding just how far you've come and to recognize the growth and successes along the way, guys. So in our fast-paced life, I mean, you guys know what I used to do. I used to be in law enforcement. I can't believe so many years passed in that specific industry.

And I can't believe I've been a full-time entrepreneur now for over four and a half years, guys. It's amazing. But it's easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of things, right? Consistently striving for the next goal by taking a moment to reflect on my journey can provide a profound sense of gratitude and perspective, okay? So you reflecting on the past isn't about dwelling on mistakes or regrets. It's about celebrating your actual progression and learning from your experiences.

This is what I really dialed in this year, guys. So start by revisiting a significant milestone in your life. Think about the challenges you overcame. Think about the risks you took and the accomplishments that you achieved. Each one of these moments has shaped you into who you are today. Acknowledge the hard work, the resilience, and the determination that has driven to you in your journey. So I've reflected on my journey. It's helped me appreciate the present. Often, I was so focused on future goals that I forgot to enjoy the present

moment. So now I look back and I'm like, man, I actually went through quite a bit of struggle and I was able to overcome that. And I recognize the blessings that come from that, guys. This can foster a deep sense of gratitude and contentment, okay? So for all my go-getters out there that are like, dude, I need to make more money. I need to make more impact. How come I'm not like blown up by now? Chill. Okay. Enjoy the journey. Additionally, reflecting on the past can provide valuable lessons for you. It allows you to identify patterns, understand what strategies have worked and learn from what hasn't. This insight is crucial for making informed decisions moving forward. So use the past experiences as a guide to navigate through future challenges and opportunities just like I have, guys, okay? I've made a ton of mistakes as an entrepreneur, as a 95er, as a cop, and I've been able to go ahead and fix it and move forward, okay?

So take time to regularly to reflect, whether it's through just writing it down, meditating, having conversations with people that you love. This practice and not only enhance self-awareness, but it also keeps you grounded and appreciate your journey, guys. OK, so I'm keeping this short because I want you guys to go out there and make it happen for yourself. You got to reflect on that journey. You got to reflect on your journey. It's a powerful tool for personal growth and gratitude. It illuminates the blessing of the present and provides valuable lessons for you in and gratitude.
