| Priceless Gifts Here are 12 priceless gifts for those we love. They are the gifts of self. The first is the gift of time. Just being with someone can be a great comfort to that person. The second is the gift of a good example. Most people lean fundamental attitudes by observing other people. The third is the gift of acceptance. People often begin to change when they realize that they’re being accepted for who they are. The fourth gift idea for those who are so often busy and distracted these days is the gift of privacy – that is, time of one’s own. The sixth gift suggested is the gift of self-esteem – not crippling others by nagging or criticizing – especially those we love. The seventh gift might be the giving up of a bad habit. Number eight: the gift of self-disclosure. Bottling up feelings and resentments deprives the other person of truly knowing who you are. The ninth gift idea is the gift of helping someone learn something new. It is an investment in her future happiness. The tenth gift is the gift of really listening. Few of us know how to listen in an effective manner. The eleventh gift is the gift of fun. It’s important to help those close to you find fun in ordinary, small events. Finally, the twelfth gift: letting others give to us – surely, one of the most important. When we let others give to us, and can accept their gifts in a gracious manner, we may be giving them one of the most important gifts of all. There are the twelve priceless gifts. Begin by giving these gifts to yourself. Then, if we augment our gift giving by giving more of ourselves to those we love, we will have a good chance of helping them and ourselves live happier lives.
