The Best Christmas Gift
“You can go ahead and open it now if you want to,” Nick said, referring to the white bag with the Apple brand logo which had just arrived at our house via two hour delivery.
“Nah, I’d rather wait until Christmas... it’s way more fun to see it under the tree!” I replied.
And, it has been fun.
Every time I notice this gift from Nick sitting beneath our little Christmas tree, I deliberately milk a giddy, kid-at-Christmas sense of anticipation to open and enjoy my snazzy new watch.
It’s making me wonder…
Maybe the best Christmas gift is actually the fun of anticipation?
The idea of something can feel as good as (or sometimes, even better than) the manifestation.
And, when it comes to our deliberate creation practice, there’s a lot of power in realizing that we don’t have to actually have something manifested into our reality in order to fully and completely enjoy it. Simply the idea of it can be enough.
And, as a bonus, learning to savor the idea of our desires before they manifest just so happens to not only feel wonderful but to also work like magic for helping them to manifest.
Here’s to extracting maximum pleasure from our desires now and all along the way to their manifestation.
Love, Magic and Holiday Blessings,
