The holidays are here!!! Shopping malls and online stores
are bursting at the seems accommodating zealous shoppers. But amid all
the retail frenzy, never ever underestimate what intangible treasures
you have to give someone else; whether it’s a smile, a kind word, or a
warm gesture. Never become presumptuous about the lasting value of that
kind of investment. Little contributions over time can have a meaningful
effect on both the giver as well as the receiver. After all, you are
the greatest gift you can ever give.
It may seem a bit cliche but, similar to rain and snowfall, small, consistent, tiny droplets can quickly turn into a deluge of staggering proportions. The same is true when impacting a life. So this holiday, be sure to do that little extra thing that shows you truly care: call instead of text, hug instead of handshake (when appropriate, of course), talk a little longer, send flowers, write thank you notes, pick up the tab. And watch, similar to most things inherit with intrinsic value, what you receive in return will yield unspeakable wealth in both tangible and intangible measures. Human compassion is key.
So, as you find yourself swept up by the current of holiday mayhem, social media scoreboards, and fiscal calculations, be sure to include the amount of hearts you’ve touched as well as the lives you’ve changed along the way in your final analysis. Dare to leave a beautiful impression with the people you come in contact with, remembering that brightening someone’s day only takes a second and a little goes a very long way!
