WHERE IS MY LIFE GOING, AND DO I NEED BETTER LUGGAGE?
Prepare, Plan, Visualize

At Christmas, even though time is at a premium, in another way it stops. We ignore things we usually bristle at, we find time for people we have not made enough time for throughout the year passing and we put on our “Christmas Heart”. Our Christmas heart, once installed is more forgiving, highly sentimental and focuses on the good in people, the pleasures of high calorie food and the people we miss, need, love and plan Christmas with.

During Christmas holidays remember an interesting idea. Researchers have found people are more positive, less likely to find fault and are able to cope with more when they are focused on the loving, dreamy less work-a-day concerns of 364 days that are not Christmas.

During this time whe we have a lesser focus on the negative let’s live like children. Not like peurile, naughty kids, but good and fun-loving children. We will be prone to the truth of things, not afraid of being alone because we tell the truth, fully committed to the idea that our dreams will be realized. We will be tender and forgiving and never forget that all that we love is worth all that we have got.

Never forget your poorest Christmas, when love was plentiful, and made you forget lack. Remember your childhood and the glowing, beautiful time when your expectations and excitement reflected the good will of everyone around you.

Charles Dickens wrote:

“It is good to be children sometimes, and never better than at Christmas, when its mighty Founder was a child Himself”

Make your plans for the New Year full of expectation, plan to love and be loved and expect the best of others. They will deliver. We are only alone in the darkness we allow ourselves to experience. Taylor Caldwell, a brilliant writer of historical fiction wrote:

“I am not alone at all, I thought. I was never alone at all. And that, of course, is the message of Christmas. We are never alone. Not when the night is darkest, the wind coldest, the world seemingly most indifferent. For this is still the time God chooses.”

Each day of our life can be a holiday escape from indifference and the mundane. Rediscover your passions, pursue the things your “soul loveth”. In the almost tidal wave intensity of media alarmism, read a good book and go for a walk with someone you love. Our plans, projections and power come from our internal resources, not T-bills or frenetic schemes.

Our destinies will actualize from a strong vision of our futures, a refined internal sifter to determine what really matters in relation to the point in the future we want to stand on.

In the end we are what we think, and the results may be slow or fast. The journey may be deftly dealt with by all of us who feel the sunlight finding us through the clouds. Live your days like each of them was Christmas.
