I love everything about this time of year because of the feelings and emotions that the holidays create. Giving becomes the focus of attention and as we prepare our Christmas Wish Lists, I have six gift wishes for you. Everything in our journey through life is about the feelings of positive or negative experiences. Knowing this, I wish for each of you several items that I believe will bring you the feeling of happiness and fulfillment:
1.The gift of Listening: Not to the voices from the world around you, but rather to the sounds of your own inner voice. Too often we allow the volume of the world to drown out the echo of our own voice and the only connection we have to ourselves and to Source energy. When you silence the world around you, the ability to listen to your own wants, needs and passions suddenly becomes the tool we need to achieve our own happiness and success.
2.The gift of Validation: Too often we seek the advice and approval of those around us rather than trusting that the things we seek to experience are our own souls wishes. How many dreams have you placed in the closet of your mind, only to collect cobwebs because another person did not provide you with their approval to attempt those dreams? You never need the permission or the approval from another person to become the individual you want to become. Be the source of your own validation, and you will uncover possibilities within yourself that you never thought were possible.
3.The gift of Vision: We each have the ability to create anything in our lives that we can imagine. The problem often lies in the limiting perceptions we place on our own dreams and ability to turn those dreams into a reality. I challenge you to develop a list of possibilities for your life and next to each of those items, write down a plan of how you will control the outcome of their creation. The steps will unfold before your own eyes because you hold the key to unlock the door to your own potential.
4.The gift of Urgency: How many instances in your life did you make a decision to put your own needs, wants, and desires on the back burner and place everyone else's ahead of you? Too often we don't value our own visions because we don't believe in them or worse yet, we don't believe in ourselves enough to achieve them. You must create a sense of urgency with your own dreams and make an action plan as if you were not going to be given another opportunity to create them. Stop taking life for granted and waiting until "tomorrow" to reach your full potential, because tomorrow doesn't exist. The only truth in your life this moment is that you have only this moment to create your life as you want to live it, so begin now.
5.The gift of Courage: It is so frightening to put your own dreams in your line of sight, because so many of our emotions and our sense of worth are connected to our dreams. Oftentimes the pain associated with not achieving what we so desperately want to create in our lives overcomes the faith in ourselves to accomplish them, that the fear outweighs the love we have for ourselves and our dreams. Courage is a necessity when you decide to create your goals!
6.The gift of Faith: There has not been one dream achieved without faith, both in yourself and in the power of something greater than yourself driving you towards that dream. Believe that whatever is in your heart to accomplish was placed there by a Source that is guiding you towards that dream. Use that same faith to know that if you dedicate yourself to the creation of that dream, you will have all of the tools necessary to achieve it. Good luck and Happy Holidays!
