This is clearly the day for reminiscing about Christmas.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the Christmas sermon I listened to. It was about, why do we celebrate Christmas. There was a ton I didn’t understand, but what I did understand (I think) was the most important.
Message: It is easier to say no and to critique and not believe, than it is to believe, have an open heart, say yes, and create.
And after I heard that, I thought, wow that is so true. It is so easy to shoot down ideas and be negative and say hurtful things. It is so much more difficult to be positive, create ideas, and say genuinely nice things.
I am pretty good at doing the easy thing, which is not what I want to be good at. I want to be better at the hard things, being positive, believing, and creating things. Cue new years resolution idea. I am going to try this year to be more positive, to believe more, to create more life and positivity and happiness in the world, in my world, and with the people I care about.
I think we all could try a little harder at that.
