Appreciation & Gratitude Thread

Yesterday I hit 1000 followers.

It's a great feeling & a wonderful opportunity to thank the amazing folks who made this possible.

First off, thanks to 1015 followers who are finding my feed valuable. Grateful and honoured for your support.

@MindsetUpgrade JP my man! All of this wouldn't have started without you. You gave a damn about me and thought I'd make a difference.

Though we don't connect much, I owe a deep debt to you for helping me rise here.

Love and respect mate!

@Thenakedpoet2 Joshua you were one of the first people I connected with after purging my old content. You've been silently supporting me & reciprocating every single time on DMs.

It's easy to openly talk to you which is why you're a blessing to all of us. Thanks for everything!

@KeaganStokoe Keagan I'll never forget the first few times when I forced stuff on to you for reviews and you happily took it upon yourself to give me feedback.

Thanks for pointing me towards substack which made my life easier. You just made stuff so easy in the beginning!

@Kpaxs Thibaut you've been such a gentleman answering me every time I send you DMs asking for pointers on what you've written vs what I've understood.

I'm glad I picked up those book drops from your newsletter! Thanks for all the wisdom! For helping us connect the dots! (-:

@SimplyVedat One of the best buddies I turn to when I'm confused and he replies back every single time. We piggyback on each other's thoughts and we've built up a wonderful rapport.

Also, he's my first support on @buymeacoffee! Thanks for keeping my spirits up always Vedat!

@OneJKMolina "La Familia", "Amigo", "Hermano". Did I miss out anything else brother? That's what you made me. For every single day. You followed me when I was a nobody here.

You're content inspires me to read better, and write better (I hope).

Grateful for your support Amigo!

@ChroniclesNate I won't hesitate to say this again, but if it weren't for Nate, I'd still be small, very small. I don't know what it was that made him give me a follow and a shout out. But then people took notice.

Nate fitted me with thrusters!

Thanks for everything (-:

@LifeAndRiches You've given me more shoutouts than anybody else buddy! I appreciate all that you do for me. I see days when my notifications are full of your support and that fills me with gratitude!

I'll do my best to give back (-:

@humbknight has been a great friend and a constant supporter of my thoughts and dreams. He's an underrated account on twitter, but tweets gems. Do follow him to learn about meditation and discipline.

Let's continue walking together!

@InvestorsTheory Gives me constant feedback on how to improve. When I'm stuck in a rut here on twitter, I seek out his counsel.

I hope I can give back to you all the time and effort you have spent guiding me here. Thanks a lot, my friend!

@ryanstephens Ryan is a warm-hearted person. I've come to coin a mental nickname for him - The Dalai Ryan. His tweets are full of wisdom - the simple ones but the ones that matter - to live a better life.

He was the second big handle after @ChroniclesNate to handhold me. Thanks!

@BirthofClarity Roscoe my man! You shone the spotlight on me by featuring me on your blog, on your newsletter, on your twitter. Not a place where you didn't shower support, affection, warmth, kindness, and love.

Thanks for everything Roscoe! I'm always here if you want my help.

@Route2FI is probably the person I've DMed the most. He's patiently responded to each one of them. I enjoyed editing his blog post about "His Journey Towards Minimalism & Financial Independence". @Route2FI is a treasure trove of wisdom.

Thank you for everything! Indebted to you.

@ThogLike Thog is the gentle giant. I've never seen a day go without Thog on my notifications, not a single day.

I cherish your support and your thoughts here Thog.

For heartwarming content, please follow @ThogLike.

@TinkeredThinker I messaged TT out of the blue for a review on a blog post about GPT3. We'd never spoken before, but TT took a good hour or two reviewing the post with me. Left me flabbergasted & embarrassed. Thanks a lot for that TT!

I'm getting my hands on your book soon! (-:

@wiseconnector Your tweets are some of the best I've ever come across. They make me stop and think. My bookmarks are crowded with your tweets.

Also, I'm indebted for your continued support here. Every time I slow down, you drop by and give me a nudge! Thanks for that! (-:

@sivers has been such an inspiration to me. Ever since I came to know of Derek Sivers, I read a lot about him, listened to his talks. He has a simple approach to life - "Live it."

A big thanks for getting me off the hedonic treadmill Derek. I went crazy when I saw your follow!

@orangebook_ Such a wonderful person! A rarity that I've come across not just here, but in my life. Genuine & deep insights into almost every aspect of life.

Few of my replies to his tweets have been acknowledged by @orangebook_ . They've made me understand life better. Thanks!

@z3nblack Thank you for your tweets, posts on Medium and your blog! They gave me a different perspective and helped me infuse more meaning into my own life.

Thanks for reaching out to me & the thoughtful gesture of being my 1000th follower. Truly an honour to be in your company!

If you're seeing any of the tweets from this thread, a big shout out once again to 1015 of my followers here. It if weren't for you, no one would be seeing these tweets.

I'm grateful and honoured to be here amidst all of you.

The fun has just begun!
