Give a Gift that Doesn’t Cost a Dime but is Absolutely Priceless

During this time of year, many people want to give something to everyone they know… family, friends, clients and hopefully to their network. The challenge is finding the right gift but also the means to do it. Obviously, these economic times affect everyone but there’s always a way to give something, even things without a price tag.

I found this poem and wanted to share it with you because I believe everyone can give a little something special this year. In fact, I challenge you to give something to someone and never tell them about it. The feeling you’ll get from giving will inspire you and others you know in your network.

May you create lifetime memories this Holiday Season! Enjoy!

THE ART OF GIVING

We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the heart:

love, kindness, joy, understanding, sympathy, tolerance, forgiveness.

We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the mind:

ideas, dreams, purposes, ideals, principles, plans, inventions, projects, poetry.

We give of ourselves when we give gifts of the spirit:

prayer, vision, beauty, aspiration, peace, faith.

We give of ourselves when we give the gift of words:

encouragement, inspiration, guidance.

Emerson said it well:

"Rings and jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts.

The only true gift is a portion of thyself."
