Reflection in Choices
"Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can."
- Willis Whitney
The end of Thanksgiving is winding down yet the gift of giving is still in the air. Although this can be a stressful time for some and an elated time for others, reflecting on our own choices, circumstances and situations is worth analyzing. It's amazing how many people shop during black friday yet complain and agonize over having no time and no money.
Consciously or unconsciously we make time to do the things we want to do and spend money on the things we want to possess. The recession may affect our pockets but doesn't have to affect our time with family and friends. In the November issue of [Lifestyle 'N Motion] five examples were given of how to rejoice in the spirit of giving during this holiday season. If life is about choices, and we choose to spend our time shopping with money we don't have, for things we don't need, for the people we have no vested interest in, then what's the point.
Make a choice to shift your mindset to: create a homemade gift (memory keepsake or photo album) vs spending money that will lead you greater in debt; create something personal from your heart that will more than likely be cherished and kept (i.e. a hand written card or letter) vs something the person may not use for months to come; and spend quality time with family & friends (people you genuinely care about) that you want to continue having many more memories with.
Analyze the choices you've made, the lifestyle you lead, and be open (if needed) to shifting your mindset for a more positive, fulfilling YOU during this holiday season.
