Last year,
I received clothes and business books
for the holidays.
This year,
I received writing books,
romance novels, and promotional supplies.
What does this tell me?
That last year,
I either wasn’t serious about my writing
or I didn’t communicate effectively
that I was serious.
This year,
my loved ones know I AM serious.
What you are given
represents what your loved ones
think is important to you
(on average,
there are always a few wacky present givers).
If you’re not happy with what you received,
the fault isn’t with your loved ones.
It is with your communication
OR it is with your priorities.
