WELCOME TO 2022!! (VACATION GIVEAWAY)

hello friends welcome to 2022 thank god we made it so at the end of this video i'm going to be giving away a vacation for two people make sure you watch till the end so you don't miss that check out the sunset look at that 2021 was a very rough year for a lot of people and we are hoping and praying that 2022 is going to be so much better so i just want to talk to you guys for a couple minutes about the past year and the things that have happened here on this channel first of all i want to thank each and every one of you for being here for being part of this journey for being part of this i don't even want to say community i would call it more like a family i've gotten to know so many of you personally i read each and every comment and it's really grown into something very beautiful that i'm very proud of and i'm hoping that we can continue to grow this family and to spread the messages of positivity and happiness and love and friendship and tolerance and acceptance peace throughout the entire world you know we started 2021 with 8 800 subscribers and now we enter 2022 with 38 300 subscribers so the family grew by 29 500 members which is more than i could have ever imagined and i'm so thankful to each and every one of you for being here sorry about my voice i'm a little bit under the weather like so many of you i've been working on my new year's resolutions and trying to think about how i want to make this year the best year of my life so far and when it comes to youtube and this channel there are three things that i want to work on number one is consistency i want to try to be very consistent putting out the same amount of videos every single week week in week out i'm not gonna lie it's not easy takes a lot of time a lot of effort and it's especially hard to balance when i have a thank god a wife and kids and i'm traveling almost full time so that is not easy but we're going to get better at it we're going to make it work the second thing is i want to focus on quality you know for a long time i've been editing the videos myself i tried bringing on other people to help me edit but so far other people haven't gotten it right the exact way i wanted it to be so i'm trying to find the right person to do that and until then i'm doing this all on my own so that is tough and i'm not the greatest editor but i'm going to be upping the quality and i think you're going to see these videos get much better as time goes on you're going to see the quality improve and i'm very confident that this will make the videos more enjoyable to watch the third thing i want to focus on this year is meaning i want to make the videos more meaningful i want to bring you stories that will touch your heart and your soul stories that you can care about stories that you'll feel comfortable sharing with your friends and family stories that you'll want the whole world to see because at the end of the day we have a limited amount of time in this world and we want to make sure that we're spending our time wisely so if i'm bringing you content to watch i want it to be as meaningful as possible and i already have a whole list of amazing stories that i want to share with you from my travels and from the people i've met along my travels that i'm sure you'll find very meaningful as promised i'm going to be doing a vacation giveaway but before we get to that i just
