You Are A Gift
December 22, 2006
You Are A Gift
At this time of year our thoughts are often on gifts -
those we’ll buy for others and those we might want to
receive.
In a perfect gift buying scenario, when you think about
buying gifts for the people you love, you think about what
each person would most like to receive. You probably choose
different gifts for each of those special people based on
what you know they most like and you get a lot of pleasure
out of making that choice.
Then you get all excited about buying the gifts and
anticipating how much pleasure each person will have when
they open the gift and see what you bought them. That
pleasure extends when you think about how they will enjoy
the gift in the future.
After you have the gifts, you wrap them so that they look
beautiful. Each one looks different and even the wrap and
bow you choose suit the size and shape of the box that
holds the gift.
You think about those you love with joy as you are going
through this whole process. You aren’t making them wrong
because they have different interests or tastes that you
consider when you choose their gifts. You don’t think they
are bad because one’s a man and one’s a woman and one’s a
child. You don’t care that one likes opera and one prefers
rock and roll. Or one likes hockey and the other loves
clothes. You’re just focusing on finding that perfect gift
and giving it to them and how happy they will be when they
open it up.
In the eyes of the world, you are that same gift. You came
here to give something that is perfect for some other
people and that no one else can give, contribute or do in
your own unique way. Others may have similar qualities and
ways of doing things, but no one else is exactly like you,
so your contribution will always be unique.
The size and shape of your box is slightly different from
everyone else. You’re wrapped with special paper that
suits you and you have a different coloured bow
To the rest of us, you are special and wonderful and
perfect for us to receive. You bring something to us that
we most want and/or need to receive.
Remember that what each of us came here to give is unique.
I’m not supposed to be you and you are not supposed to be
me, or anyone else.
What gift are you giving to the world? What do others tell
you they love about you? What positive affect do they say
you have on them?
Do you appreciate yourself? Do you put your attention on
your gifts or are you focusing on what you think you should
be or what you are not good at doing?
This holiday season, give yourself the gift of
unconditional love. It will have an amazing impact on your
life.
When you appreciate the gift you are in the world, you
contribute to others in a way that no one else can.
Thank you for being a gift in my life.
Give yourself or a loved one a gift each month of the year.
This month I would like to invite you to join the
Spiritual Cinema Circle. Each month you will receive three
to five movies that are uplifting and inspiring. Many are
movies you would not ordinarily have a chance to see.
There are shorts and full-length movies.
The first month is free, with only a charge for shipping.
The main feature for the month of December is the second
version of the movie called The Secret. It’s an
inspirational movie with over 20 successful men and women
sharing about the Law of Attraction.
Getting the Best Movies Delivered to Your Door Can Be A
Breeze!
STOP! Don't waste another minute watching violence or
special effects movies that leave you numb. Warm your
heart, stir your mind and expand your soul!
