There are countless gifts being exchanged across the world during this time of the year.
And I’m sure you have many gifts you’ll be exchanging as well.
A question: What gift are you most excited to give?
…And why?
Is it because of how personable it is? How hard it was to find? How much time/energy/effort went into making it/deciding on it?
Ultimately… the gift we’re most excited to give is the one we probably think is going to elicit the biggest emotional response.
Because at the end of the day, what we’re really after when we exchange gifts isn’t an item for another item… what we’re after is an exchange of emotions. Joy for joy. Gratitude for gratitude. Excitement for excitement.
Remember this not only as you’re giving gifts… but as you’re receiving gifts, too.
Sometimes, the best gift you can give has nothing to do with anything you bought… but rather has everything to do with the type of responses you give when you open something someone else bought you.
