At a time when many feel compelled to spend more money (perhaps more than they can afford) yet feel they have less time, it’s important to focus on deeper meaning and spirit of holidays. Now and in days to come, regroup and refocus your energies to give most priceless gift you always have to offer – YOU. Truly most wonderful gifts of year are heartfelt, so here are a few you can offer whole year through.
1. Create A Moment Moments are magical times when someone later turns and says, “Remember time we…” Moments don’t just happen; they’re created. Moments are gifts that keep on giving and that can be relived at any time over and over again.
2. Unconditional Love and Friendship No judging, no gossiping, no criticizing – No Kidding!
3. A Random Act of Kindness Give of yourself daily. Acts both small and large count - choose to donate your time, energy, or money. You can experience even greater gratification if you don’t tell a soul.
4. The Gift of Time * Time with yourself to reflect and grow * Time with others to develop and build powerful relationships * Time given to others that empowers them to expand their greatness
5. The Gift of Respect Respect for yourself and others empowers you to value beauty inside and out. Value beauty of your relationships by infusing them with respect and honoring them with your time.
I encourage you to start today - share any or all of these gifts with yourself, family, friends, or colleagues. Remember, most wonderful gift of all is gift that keeps on giving!
