Giving is one of the most fulfilling and enduring of human experiences. As the year approaches its end, we march into online stores and shopping malls— thinking, researching, and buying gifts for our friends and loved ones. The pleasure for us is immense, we are enthralled in our minds, countless times just by visualizing the happiness on the faces of people who receive our gifts.
But wait ! Shall we not ask in this season of giving, what is the most enduring of gifts? It must be a gift that can forever impact the lives of others. A gift that can motivate when someone is down and out. A kind of gift that can ease the intense grief from the loss of a loved one. A gift that can channel the potential of an individual to achieve distant dreams. Yes, it is the priceless gift of “HOPE”. The amazing thing is that it costs us nothing yet, not a single dime. But it makes a lasting impression on the lives it touches. It generates the deepest happiness and helps move the world forward.
So let us begin this year, by taking some small steps to share HOPE. Let us shape our interactions with people around us. So when someone comes to us, let us then,
** Don’t Judge **. It takes all the diversity to make a beautiful world.
** Listen sincerely and deeply **. Everyone has wisdom to impart. It makes us wiser as we learn from listening.
**Connect people**. It creates opportunities for all and unclogs the path for those in of need direction.
**Finally, Counsel with HOPE**. Encouragement to keep going makes the day for the person.
