Once your birthday is over and you have put away the cards and licked the last bit of cake icing, it is time to think about what you will give to the world over the course of the next year. Pick something good, something grand and then work towards it. You good, grand thing will not be my good, grand thing and that is perfectly fine. We all have different gifts and different things we can offer the world. Pick something and set about preparing and giving that gift to the world.
Never forget that if you fail to plan, you plan to fail so make a plan, a SMART plan for the gift you will share with the world. Once the planning is done, set about doing. Do not get so bogged down with the planning that you never get around to the doing. Whatever it is that you want to give to the world, whatever it is you have to offer, give it and give it with gusto! Give it with all your heart. As I write these words, I am thinking of my gift to the world over the next year. What do I have to offer? What can I share? What can I do to make the world a better place?
Those last three questions are scary! They are truly some of the scariest questions a person can ask themselves. But, they are questions that must be asked, thought about and then answered resoundingly! As you read these words, think about how you would answer these questions. How would you respond to each of them?
