The
holiday season is for loving and serving others. It is not the time to be
selfish, greedy and eccentric. So try these few things during the holidays
while you are with your loved ones (even if they tend to annoy you!)
- Say
something nice and compliment others. If you can't say anything nice,
don't say anything at all.
- Avoid
catastrophizing. You know...making a mountain out of a molehill. Enjoy the
moment, the present day. Your unfortunate circumstance could change to a
positive event overnight.
- Bless
you enemies. Better yet, have no enemies at all. Even if someone might not
like you, send them love, peace and happiness.
- Remember
that giving is much more fulfilling than receiving. Give and happy you are
able to do it.
- Do
something good--a random act of kindness--and don't expect anything in
return. Not a compliment or acknowledgement. Just give for the sake of
giving.
- Remember we all have a purpose in life. Think about what you
believe to be your purpose and do one thing everyday to make that purpose
expand.
- Remember God, His will, His love and forgiveness. Be happy
for every day you are given.
