The Season of Giving

 It is this time of the year – for a great part of the world, the time of giving, of sharing, of loving, of making promises to ourselves and others.

What a wonderful tradition that once a year we are reminded to give with a loving heart, and once a year to make resolutions on what kind of people we want to become.

This makes me wonder – why do we need to be reminded to give? Is this the only time of the year to give from the heart? What is so different at this time of the year in the way we give (and receive)?

What about all those resolutions? What’s so different about that date (1/1/….) than any other date of the year? What happens to all those resolutions?

Now understand, I am no better at this than most other people. But we seem to have a short-term memory. The giving and receiving from the heart goes out of the window, as soon as the season is over. With purpose I say giving and receiving, as the real value is in the exchange. Yes, often we are told that when we give, we shall receive 10-fold. And thus it is and thus it shall be.

I know of many people who give and give, and one day they are burnt out. Now what is the purpose of that? All too often givers do not allow themselves to receive. And when we give, let’s not forget ourselves. There are many ways also of giving to ourselves, as we give to others.

The short-term memory goes also for the resolutions we make at this time of the year. If we are not going to keep them, we are better off not making them at all. The damage we do to ourselves when not keeping promises is so devastating. It causes our sub-conscious to stop believing in ourselves. So if we make a resolution, let’s keep it. Many make many resolutions, saying: This year is going to be different. Before long, however, they are back at where they started.

This posting is dedicated to a very dear friend, my coach and mentor, Bob Yeager. He sent me a video greeting this morning, and I promised to get it out to as many as possible. I have known him for a few months only, but I have come to know him on a very deep level. Although younger than my son, he has such profound knowledge and wisdom, that he shares with all who are willing to learn. Without his teachings this blog would not exist. Without his incredible knowledge and understanding of the internet, I could not do what I am doing here. Without his support and teachings I would still be in a very different place.

Please go to this link to see and hear his video postcard:

To you, Bob, I dedicate my resolution: to continue on my path to higher awareness and to share with all who are willing to achieve higher awareness for the purpose of creating peace within ourselves and in the world; for the purpose of all having equal opportunity to live lives of purpose by their own design; to find and work with and through their soul purpose.

Merry Christmas and Happy Prosperous New Year to you all!
