Hi Everyone!
Sorry I've been away from the blog for a while. I've been busy writing my book, "52 Weeks to Living Life from the Heart". Its been a long time coming, but by chipping away a little at a time, I hope to have my Christmas present to myself, done!
Today I want you to think about what you REALLY want for Christmas. What is it that you REALLY want. What I'm talking about here isn't something on your list of "stuff" that you might be asking your significant other or parents for, I mean what would really like to have or achieve at Christmas time this year.
My wife and I have made the decision this year that we're not going to spend big money on each other this year. We tried to think of what we wanted for Christmas but couldn't come up with ANYTHING that we really wanted or needed so we've decided that instead of going out and getting a bunch of "stuff", we're going to sponsor a child in Africa for Christmas. For the same amount of money we spent on each other last year for more stuff, we can provide education, food, clothes and a better life for another human being. How great is that?
Maybe this isn't your thing, but I encourage you this year to find a way that works for you, to help make other people's lives around you better. Rather than asking yourself, what do I want, try thinking, what can I GIVE to someone else? It's a powerful question. If we all asked it, our world would be a better place.
