10 Top Things to Give

1) Your Time

How many of you are too busy with our own lives to give your time to others ?
Being busy is an excuse and a reason not to go out of your way.
People need you and love you. They want to see you.
Let them have some time with you.

2) Your Support

How many of you really support the people in your life ? What I mean by support is encouragement and reasons to try something new, not 10 different reasons why it won't work for them. Just because it didn't work this time.
There's nothing better than telling a person that they can do whatever they want in this world.

3) Your Acceptance

This may be a toughie for some. This means unconditional love and the ability to love someone for who they are and not what you want them to be.
It means giving up how you think their life should go ... accepting them for what they want to do with their lives.
This is the greatest gift that you can give to the people in your life.

4) Your Attention

How many of you really listen to the people in your life ? For everyone who just said "Of course I do" then why are the people in your life asking you to repeat what they have just said? It's because they
know that you didn't hear them.
Take a few minutes, stop what you are doing, and focus on the people who you love. Aren't they worth it ? And who knows, you may even learn something that you thought you already knew.

5) Your Forgiveness

Forgiving people for past mistakes and hurts is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. After all they are only human. Plus, I'm sure that you haven't been the perfect human being either.
Keeping hurt and anger in your life is just an excuse not to get close to people for fear that they will hurt you again.

6) Your Patience

How many of you can't even be with the people you love because they are taking too long to tell a story or are taking longer than "you think" to complete a project that you think should take a lesser time. How do you know that there isn't a better way to do something if the people around you always have to do it your way ?
Having patience with people shows that they are respected and loved. Isn't this a great gift to give to people around you ?

7) Your Love

People want to know that they are special in your life and that you care about them. If there are things that are keeping you from loving them such as conversations that you want to have with them, but you're afraid, my advice is to say it.
Sometimes you have to take risk to achieve an open and rewarding relationship. Take the risk and give your love.

8) Your Ideas

Sometimes people want to move forward in their lives but they don't know how. You may know something that they never thought of.
And who knows, your ideas may change somebody's life.
So go ahead, don't be afraid to share what you know.

9) Your Smile

There is nothing better that entering a room seeing someone smile when you walk in. Right then and there you know that your presence makes a difference in their life. A smile is easy. You just grin upward. Plus, you burn many more calories then from frowning.

10) A Hug

Human touch warms the heart and keeps us connected. In addition, it doesn't take much effort, it costs nothing, and it makes someone's day.
Couldn't you find time in your schedule to hug someone you love today?
