My wife showed me this clip yesterday at work. I have seen it before, but felt it was appropriate to post on the site at this time. We live in a time where our American Men and Women are putting their lives on the line to defend our freedom and prolong our current way of life. Most do not get to come home this season to see their families. Many people are suffering a major financial crisis, with no hopes of better things to come. We have Cancer, Aids, kidnappings and murders everyday in our morning news. Weather systems continually challenge our survival in many parts of the country. Families roam the streets praying for a bite of food and a warm corner to huddle in to get through the nights. It’s easy to get caught up all the stresses of the holiday season, bills and other crisis’ consistently demanding our time and emotional energy. Yes, there’s many, many things we encounter on a daily basis that challenge our strength, character, and spiritual light. This is why it’s soo critical to dig down deep into who you are this season.

I invite each one of you to watch this video, and remember who you were at 6 years old. Do you remember the magic of the season? The excitement you had everyday when you woke up, begging you to be careless and free? There were no cares in the world, and anything you wanted to dream was possible. No bills. No health concerns. No drama to interfere with you and your boundless energy. Your dreams were real, and life was soo easy. I encourage you to get in touch with those feelings this Christmas Season, and remember how it felt to have your dreams dangling in front of your face, ready for the taking. Bring back the magic we all had inside of us at one time.

Let’s forgive each other this year. Let’s let go of our health concerns and financial worries. They do not own our spirits and destiny. You are in control of your life, and nothing outside can change that. Get in touch with who you were at 6 years old, and bring that into 2008. I promise there is a world of change coming when you uncover that magic you once had inside.
