There is a great mystery about the deeper meaning of the

well-known Christmas carol, The 12 Days of Christmas

Many believe the 12 Gifts described in the song (i.e a partridge in a pear tree) are just nonsensical lyrics made up for children

Others believe these Gifts contain hidden meaning about the

essence of faith

No one but the long-ago deceased writer of the song will ever know

My personal belief is that everything in the universe has layers of hidden meaning, whether we intend it as such or not

And when we can begin to harvest that secret significance, whether

it is the same for two different people or not, life becomes

infinitely richer

The following are descriptions of a new set of 12 Gifts of

Christmas– something I also call The 12 Gifts of Life

Whatever you choose to call them, their significance lies in how they can empower you to discover ever more joy and abundance, and to overcome your greatest challenges

Here is a summary of these 12 beautiful Gifts

Trang 4

Gift 1 – Insight

Rather than constantly looking for happiness “outside” yourself from others and from material things, life and your challenges

compel you to look “inward.” Both strength and joy are found when you develop this “Insight” to see beyond the surface of things And thrillingly, you find answers to questions that have up to now

perplexed you, whether you are looking for ways to mend a

relationship, overcome failure, or achieve financial freedom

Trang 5

Gift 2 – Proportion

The bigger your challenges, the greater you receive this Gift The Gift of Proportion allows you to weigh all of your future ups and downs against the scales of what you already have faced As such, life becomes much “easier Everyday obstacles become not nearly

so daunting Spiritual peace and financial wealth are two results from this beautiful Gift After all, the richest of us are those who prove hardiest in triumphing over our greatest challenges

Trang 6

Gift 3 – Dignity

We often spend so much time in fear of what other people think Gift 3 of Dignity allows you to use your challenges to keep your head raised with the knowingness of your own integrity; to keep walking forward to become a model of grace under pressure; and to keep on walking, one step at a time, out of the depths of surviving

to the heights of joy-filled thriving

Trang 7

Gift 4 - Forgiveness

Inability to forgive yourself makes you a prisoner of your own life

As humans, we are far from perfect Our mission is to move forward based on the lessons we learn from our big and small mistakes When you can’t forgive yourself, you find it easy to not forgive others as well You subconsciously make those you can’t forgive your fellow inmates, and your self-created isolating iron bars close

in ever tighter around you Yet, with the simple sometimes

unspoken words to yourself or to another, “I forgive you,” a

doorway is opened that avails a grace that lightens your days and

illuminates your path

Trang 8

Gift 5 – Faith

Wise men say there are only two emotions in the universe - love and fear All other emotions are birthed from one of these two So why is Faith so important and powerful for you and me? Faith is the

"bridge" between your greatest fears and your highest love Faith is the path you choose to transform tragedy into triumph, grief into grace and mistakes into steppingstones to the highest wealth Faith

in a better tomorrow is the spark that ignites you to keep taking your next step to that distant light And, finally, Faith is the key that opens your own heart to let the grace of God shine through your eyes

Trang 9

Gift 6 – Humor

A wise friend once told me, “Humor is a form of religion.” As shocking as this statement was at first, when I looked deeper, I realized he was right Humor when appropriately used, can be the

greatest of all Gifts Like Gift 5 of Faith, it can be used to lift us

up from our fears Like Gift 4 of Forgiveness, it can provide the

shift we need to free ourselves from our egos and our need to be

right And similar to Gift 3 of Dignity, it can raise us up from our

greatest falls to laugh at ourselves and with others so we can continue on taking our next steps to a brighter tomorrow

Trang 10

Gift 7 - Acceptance

We, as human beings, are powerful beyond our imaginations to shape our world and mold our destinies Yet, the challenge is

always recognizing what we can and can’t change Gift 7 of

Acceptance allows us to know when we need to go around an

obstacle instead of through it Its whispers provide us peace by letting us know that which is best left for another day And its light keeps us from the shadows, illuminating the path where our Highest Power deems we will best serve and be served

Trang 11

Gift 8 - Discomfort

This is the strangest of all the Gifts And yet, it is in a certain way

the most beautiful one The Gift of Discomfort shows how the

universe can be a paradox – how that which we seek to avoid –

discomfort - is in truth that which guides us It shows us when we are moving away from where we should be, whether that means with another person, in another conversation or on another path Ignore this Gift’s signals, and see how quickly larger signals appear

in the form of conflict and adversity Begin heeding all this Gift offers, and witness how your life slowly begins to be filled with ever greater peace and wealth

Trang 12

Gift 9 - Silence

Our days are filled with so much activity and noise, it often drowns out our deepest nature That nature, found in our silences,

replenishes us and returns us back to a comfort in our own skins and

a oneness with the rest of the world And yet, why is it we are so drawn to the attractions of the latest toy … the noise of the loudest hawker … the charms of the most alluring seduction? Can it not be that an occasional closing of our eyes and quieting of our minds can attune us to a richness around us and a love inside of us that money can never buy? And if so, why should we ignore for even one day longer that which costs not a cent, and yet delivers the greatest of all riches?

Trang 13

Gift 10 - Presence

The sister of Gift 9 of Silence is Gift 10 of Presence When we

have silence inside, we become Present to all that is available

outside This means being present to opportunities we otherwise may miss from being too preoccupied This includes the momentary window a chance phrase gives us to reconnect with someone with whom we may be at odds Likewise, it means enjoying something as simple as the daily setting sun – so easy to ignore yet so nourishing

to our souls

T he Gifts of Life are all around us It is our Gift of Presence that

allows us to receive them

Trang 14

Gift 11 - Giving

The Gift of Giving affirms our oneness with the universe; how we

are part of a greater cycle where we receive in ever greater

abundance along the continuum of our Giving This Giving does not mean only of our possessions It includes the free sharing of our smiles, our laughter, our words of comfort and our gestures of

kindness Rather than seeking to hold and contain, The Gift of

Giving asks you to be a vessel where love, music and money

continually flows to you as it flows through you

Trang 15

Gift 12 - Grace

The sum total of being open to all The Gifts of Life results in living

a life of Grace This Gift manifests with the simple joy and

abundance never farther away than the celebration of the person in front of you, the enjoyment of the silence inside you, and the

excitement from the horizon always within your sight It doesn’t take much, but it does take vigilance Open your eyes and allow

The 12 Gifts of Life and of Christmas to cut through the shifting

shadows of all which may distract you Therein you’ll find a life of grace filled with all 12 Gifts and many more
