Still looking for your Christmas stories. Please send them to dick@dicksummer.com . Here’s one from a broadcasting buddy of mine by the name of Jerry DelColliano. It’s worth posting on your refrigerator door:
- This Christmas
- Give yourself a break. Promise yourself many days when you get off your own back. Perhaps the greatest gift of all is self-forgiveness. We are human. We do our best. We can do better. But we have done all we can for now.
- Give yourself an IOU. Every time you do something well, make a significant accomplishment or handle a difficult promise, issue an IOU to yourself to redeem the next time you need a boost of confidence.
- Give your love. We live in a world focused on being loveable, getting love or having more of it. Start with yourself. Let me help. Finish this sentence: “I love this about myself”. How many of these can you come up with?
- Give yourself the gift of dreaming. Everything good started with a dream from someone whether it is a relationship, a movement, a cause or a business.
- Give yourself the gift of hope. Life without hope is actually death. As long as we’re here and we’re on this earth, all things are possible.
