Day 6 of 12- Gift of Yourself

The main idea of this conversation is about the importance of giving the gift of oneself and being present in relationships during the holiday season. The speakers emphasize the value of spending quality time with loved ones and being genuine in interactions. They also discuss the significance of having a positive mindset, embracing failure and success, and being intentional in both personal and professional aspects of life. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to be a gift to others and to appreciate the opportunity to connect with people. Hey, Tyler, it is Thursday, day 6 of 12 days of intentness for your business. Today we kind of have a special topic, and we are talking about the gift of yourself. What does that mean to you? Man, the gift of yourself is an interesting one, and we've kind of gone back and forth on this, and I think you and I have different kind of views. I think we do, yeah. And that's fine, because there is various ways to answer this. And to me, the holidays are, we think of what's the best gift I can give somebody. Chocolate. Yeah, chocolate. For me, I do like chocolate. Peanut M&M's. Peanut M&M's and a cold Pepsi. There we go. That just didn't always pick me up. But I actually truly feel the best gift is the gift of yourself and your presence and being genuine and being who you are and going to your family members, and when you see them, don't be on your phone. Be there. Have that conversation. You know, you have friends that you haven't seen in a while. Give them the gift of setting something up and going to see them for the holidays or maybe a couple days after the holidays. You're going to have people in your life, family members, friends, that might be a little bit older that you just never know. Yep. And they want to see you, you want to see them, and make it happen, because that ultimately is the greatest gift that you can give somebody. I can tell you I would take a gift of seeing my grandpa one more time at Christmas than having any gift that anybody could ever wrap and give me. That's very true. So when I thought of this, I agree, the best gift you can give is your presence, right, and being present, being mindful. And for me, I love being able to meet with friends and family during this time of year, but it's a mentality you have to go in with of coming in with a positive mindset because we don't need to necessarily bring our troubles or issues everywhere we go. I know that's sometimes harder to do than said, and sometimes we need to do that. But also giving the gift to yourself of a mindset of it's okay to fail, and it's okay to succeed. And when we fail, it's a lesson to grow from. And when we succeed, it's looking back on how we got there. So to me, it's the freedom of allowing yourself to believe. And, Marcy, I love that because so often in our business or in our lives, we do have that fear of failure. And the little side note is there is some people that do run around with the fear of success. And sometimes the ultimate gift, like you just spoke of, the gift of allowing yourself to accept both is a huge gift you can give yourself. Absolutely. So as we look at being an intentional person, and that's in our business, in our lives, in our interactions, it's give yourself that gift too. It's okay to be successful. It's okay to fail. We never fail unless we truly don't learn from what we haven't. Absolutely. We don't fail. We learn. That's right. So go out there, give the gift to yourself of accepting failure or success, and go out there and be a gift to somebody else because somebody does truly want to see you and be with you or at least hear from you. Absolutely. It's about being present. Love it. All right. It's a great day for? Go get a listing.
