Daily Gratitude: what’s the greatest gift you can give someone? It’s Christmas so take some time out of your busy day to think about it.

I think the gift you can give someone else is very similar to the one you can give yourself.

And that’s letting go.

Let go of everything this year. Don’t look at what you might get or attain in the coming year. Look at areas in your life that need changing. I will bet you’ll find things that need to be let go of.

I had to let go of the “I can do everything myself” this year. The “I don’t need no stinking help” philosophy no longer works (and here’s a little secret. It never worked. I just couldn’t see it). There were other things I had to let go of too and once I did it was so freeing.

One of the best ways for me to be able to do that was by using my mantra “everything always works out for me”. If I didn’t believe that, it would be harder for me to hold open my palms and let the bird fly away.

Can you think of things that you either did let go of or that you want to let go of? Write them down and frequently revisit them.
