Dear Readers,

It’s almost Christmas, and Hannuka and the Winter Solstice have just passed. It’s the time of year for gift-giving in almost every tradition and faith. So I thought I’d use my space this week to give a gift to all of you. The gift of wisdom, from some of the wisest and most spiritually evolved beings I’ve been blessed to know. In other words, the best advice I’ve ever received.

Start every day appreciating the most beautiful things in your life, and in the world around you.

Get up each morning and make a list of all the good things you expect to happen that day.

Actively look for things to feel good about – and you’ll find them.
