Day 5 of the Gratitude Challenge! This is the final day so I have saved the biggest to last. - I am grateful for my mentor Virginia Cheong, this woman believed in me when I didnt believe in myself. She consistently pushes and challenges me to step up, grow and become a better leader. Thanks to her I have become a much more confident, learnt 101 new skills, become a better person all round and have a clear vision for what I want to achieve and plan to get there. Thank you Virginia, I am honour to have you as my mentor :D - I am grateful for my time at the Australian Institute of Music where I learned from some of the best musicians in the industry, was exposed to some amazing opportunities and made some amazing friends. I am particularly grateful to Steve Henderson for his constant support and mentorship, Clive Harrison and Shauna Jensen for their honest critic in Concert Pract. Jason Bruer for sharing his great wisdom. And all of my guitar teachers Dave Hallard, my first real teacher!, Tom Ferris and his jokes. Aswell as Jeremy Sawkins amd Mark Johns for helping me evolve as a guitarist and musician. Thank you all! And last but not least, - I am grateful for my struggles and challenges. We all go through tough times and like most people I have been through many. I am grateful for each and everyone of them because without them I would not understand the darker side of emotion. It has given me perspective on what is important and what isnt. And even though I still fall and stumble, i grow stronger with each experience. Thank you to everyone who has seen me struggled and pushed me to keep going. Your words of encouragement mean the world to me. No nominations today. But if you are reading this then I encourage you to take on the challenge and write down 3 things that you are grateful for each day for 5 days. Even if its just for you to see. Too many of us take life and good things for granted. This has helped me to refocus and reappreciate those who have impacted my life. For if we are ungrateful for what we already have, why should we be granted anymore? You are all incredible, have a great day!
