a generous gift

If you could pick any positive trait as a gift to yourself, what would it be?

You can only pick one. Which quality would you pick for starters? Tomorrow offers a new gift.

By focusing on one trait a day, you can slowly strengthen your character. We can become relaxed when it comes to being a blessing to others. Do you sometimes wish others would change their attitudes around you? How could a slight change in yourself be a huge gift to others?

We must first be good to ourselves. Congrats! Please open your gift; I hope you love it! What if you build upon one characteristic a day for thirty days? How might you become a beacon of light in a month?

Here are thirty gifts to receive when you’re up for a challenge:

Ambitious

Balanced

Cheerful

Consistent

Cooperative

Courageous

Devoted

Exciting

Flexible

Forgiving

Generous

Helpful
