presence


No, that’s not a typo in the title.

It might be Christmas Eve, but I’m not talking about presents…I’m talking about presence.

The holiday season is upon us, which hopefully means more time with family, friends, and other loved ones. While exchanging gifts and presents, don’t forget that the greatest gift you can give someone is your presence–being there with them in the moment without distraction.

I’m guilty of not always being present in family settings…scrolling my phone while being semi-present to the conversations and people in the room. It’s not something I’m proud of, but now that I am more aware of it, I can do something about it.

And what better time than Christmas Eve with my family and Christmas Day with my in-laws?

I’m sure the sweater, shoes, or V-bucks you bought will be well received and appreciated, but I know your attention and presence will be appreciated even more.

Over the next few days, give the greatest gift you can and be present with the loved ones in your life.


See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

How many of us take better care of our possessions than we do our bodies? Cars.Lawns.Homes.Jewelry.Shoes. Many of us take more pride in the appearance of these material possessions than we do our physical Selves—and not that the appearance of our physical Self guarantees health, but there is something to be said about the time, attention, and resources that are allocated to keeping all of these in good shape and looking their best. I’ve been guilty numerous times in the past of relaxing on...
