I have gave a present to my younger brother some time ago on his birthday. He was very surprised and very happy because I have never gave him any in the past. This is the first one and the first of many to come.
When I looked at him wearing a big smile upon receiving the music CD from me, I felt a warmth in my heart.
This is a joy and I want to share this joy with all of you reading this.
When was the last time you gave a gift to someone? How did you felt that time when you saw the smile on that person's face upon receiving it from you? Have you failed to give a gift to someone? Have you ever thought of not giving to someone whom you deemed not worthy to receive?
A gift to someone may not be something you buy. It can be spending quality time, giving a hug, a pat on the back, listening to them, having a simple chat. Whatever it is, its you being there with them that matters the most. You may not notice but people appreciate when we take time to look for them and be there.
Have you kissed your mum? Hug your dad? Pat your brother or boy friends? Hold hands with your sister or girl friends? Its simple and small, even embarrassing to a certain point, but they can feel the love coming from you. They will smile back, you can feel the warmth in you and them. Don't you want some love? Find them! Talk to them! Keep them company! Its not some mammoth task, but it can certainly make your day.
Being in quarrels? Fell out with someone? Ignored a person or being ignored? Get rid of all those! Call them! Sms them! Msn them! Take the first step, apologise on your part and they will reciprocate. Even if they do not respond, at least you tried. There will be another time to do it again.
Am I being too optimistic? Yes I think so, but don't you think the human world is too realistic and too sad? We need a little optimism from each and everyone of us to make our day or someone's day. There is no harm in being optimistic or happy. Infact everybody will be delighted if you can show that all around.
Go on, do it!
