The Three Greatest Gifts...

Yeah, it's Christmastime, again!

Seems like an appropriate time for us to turn to the wise words of Dr. Deepak Chopra, "The three greatest gifts you can give to anyone are Attention, Affection and Appreciation."

First, however, it is important that you give yourself these gifts of attention, affection, and appreciation.  The more time we spend on healthy eating, staying active, monitoring our hearts, and taking care of our bodies, the more time we will enjoy the gifts we share with others.

For example, the more we are in touch with nature, we gain a better perspective on what makes us happy.  After all, it's guaranteed in the Constitution that we have an inherent Right to Pursue Happiness.  

So then, the question is:  How do you define happiness? Is it the pursuit of money?  Do you pursue power?  For me, a gorgeous sunset and sunrise are the best ways to begin and end a day.  

Taking time for reflection, reassessment, renewal.  Each new day is another new start.  Each time we remove ourselves from the consumptive society we have all become, the more opportunities we have for seeing things from another perspective.  

At this time of year, with the ending of one and the beginning of another new year, taking more time to reflect on where we are and where we would like to go provides insights into how you now view your Personal Purpose.

I wish everyone, every happiness, and hopes for a brighter tomorrow...
