Is your life following the first way or the second? I’ve been pondering on this: Anytime a gift is given, the recipient must choose to respond in one of the two ways. The first way says; This gift is so valuable it can’t be risked. Those who follow the first way realize that when the gift is brought out of the box and into the open, things may not always go well. The gift may be poorly used sometimes. It may not always be admired by others the way we want. It may even get broken. Taking the gift out of the box is always a risk. The second way says; This gift is so valuable it must be risked. Those who follow the second way understand that if the gift is not brought of the box, it will never be used at all. To leave the gift in the box is to thwart the desire of the giver. There’s no tragedy like the tragedy of the unopened gift. You too have been given a gift. Do a ruthless self assessment—- Along with the gift you have been given a choice— whether or not you will open and use what was given to you. Is your life following the first way or second? Life is a gift 🎁 Arise and shine ✨

Firstly - A very Happy Friday to you. Secondly... Kindness is the single-most powerful act you can do for another person & it's completely free! My good friend, Nima Abrishamchian, handed this to me after a long-overdue catch-up a couple of weeks back. A breakfast, a catch-up on both professional and personal lives as well as two guys, ex-colleagues (ex. Manager), just enjoying good chat, food and coffee. Simple. I've enjoyed this book from cover-to-cover. It's got some valuable and heartwarming messages throughout, ones which I've taken on board immediately and now bring into my day-to-day. The most valuable of all - The unexpected receiving of this gift. Thanks Nima. One to now reciprocate with others around me. To wrap up - Questions: - What acts of kindness have you received/given recently? and.. - What other books, such as this one, have you loved and would recommend to others? Have a great weekend all.

Christmas is only a week away, and one question I love hearing the answer to around this time of the year is: What is your favorite Christmas gift you have ever received? AND What is your favorite Christmas gift you've ever given? I would love to see your responses to one or both of the questions so throw them in the comments! Check out mine in the comments as well. #cpa #accounting #accountant #taxes #business #tax #smallbusiness #finance #taxseason #entrepreneur #payroll #businessowner #accountants #money #taxplanning #retirementaccountants #retirementgoals #financialplanning #retirementadvice #securefuture #financialfreedom #financialpreparation

What makes this gift voucher the best gift you can give this Christmas? Your person will receive one (online) hour of: 1) releasing trapped emotions currently blocking their energy field (causing them to feel physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually out of alignment and maybe even pain) 2) releasing/reducing any old pain they may be experiencing 3) releasing emotions from their Heart Wall - that protective 'bunker' their subconscious mind created around their heart and which stands in their way of feeling connected and energised (amongst others). 4) a chance to share their story with someone who doesn't judge and who will hold a safe space for them to be and heal. To book, please use this link: https://lnkd.in/eUt3TTRx (Small print: one voucher per 'gift-ee', offer excluded for current clients) #painfree #healing #giftvoucher

Presence is a gift. It’s one you give and receive. Rather than wishing you were somewhere else, give yourself the gift of being where you are and receive all it has to offer. There are powerful messages there. Being in the present moment isn’t about never wanting more for yourself, in fact it is how you create what you want. If you constantly wish or ‘should’ yourself in the present moment to be somewhere else, that is exactly what you will create - more discontent with your present conditions and more belief that somewhere else is better than where you are. “But won’t it actually be better when I have the relationship I want, or the work I want to be doing, or the confidence and belief in myself?”, you ask. Better is relative. If you can’t see that being where you are is the foundation for leading you to where you want to be, you’ll miss the undeniable gift showing you what needs to shift in order to experience what you want in a ‘better’ way. You’ll continue to feel the disconnect with where you are no matter the situation you find yourself in. Acceptance of and presence with the here and now paves the way for what you want - for the “better’ - by resurfacing the experience you’re in at this moment. Receive and learn from what is being offered to you now and take that with you as you move forward to create the life you want!

As we enter December it's easy to get caught up in the give, give, giving. But how often do you pay attention to the art of receiving? Receiving a gift, whether you like it or not for the intention that was behind it. Or receiving a compliment without dismissing or belittling it? Instead responding with a simple Thank You and a smile. Give it a try this week. #mindfulmonday #giftofreceiving #compliments

Last year six in ten Brits felt anxious in the runup to Christmas due to the cost of living crisis - a problem still affecting so many of us. 🎅🪙 Christmas is a time when we feel we have to spend more, with costs such as presents for loved ones and festive food to think of. Help your employees through this time tricky by offering ideas for Christmas cutbacks. This could include:  🎄Shop early and take advantage of items on sale - start getting what you need before December!  🎄Be honest - tell your friends/family if you're struggling, doing something like a Secret Santa is a good way to save money in a group, and also agree on pricing for gifts!  🎄Get creative with gifts - homemade gifts can be a good way to save money. Why not bake some gingerbread or try your hand at jam/chutney making?  #ChristmasSavings #EmployeeAdvice #EmployeeBenefits
