The Days Earth Stands Still: The True Gifts of Christmas and New Year

This year 2022 is a Christmas to remember. 

The greatest gift of all, and anyone will undoubtedly agree, is health. On Christmas and New Year, this means being able to spend time with family, friends, and extended relatives.

It’s ironic how we take these iconic things for granted, like being more caring and spending quality time with each other.

Gratitude is the greatest gift of Christmas and New Year

But life has become more bottled in and restricted in many places, and from season to season, these little iconic things we took for granted seem like the greatest gifts of all.

Knowledge vs. traditions 

If there is one thing that 2022 has taught us, traditions trump knowledge. 

According to an article on Industry Tap by David Schilling, human knowledge doubles every 13 months.  And now, with the help of the Internet, the doubling of knowledge happens every 12 hours.

Despite all this knowledge, and the conflicts caused by misinterpretation of this knowledge, it is tradition that guides us like a north star and reminds us of the right that has been, and also of the better that can be.

Happy Holidays and a Wonderful New Year

Our greatest New Year’s resolution for 2023 is to remember the universal traditions we all uphold and to pass them on to the next generations by acting them out or compassionately reinforcing them where needed. 

Mindfulness

Being aware of our thoughts, feeling, and intentions. Considering our actions and how they may affect others. And seeing ourselves as part of the solution instead of just pointing at others as causing the problem. 

Faith 

Faith is the most powerful tool given to us humans. It’s how we’ve managed to climb the highest mountains. Reach the most profound depths and continue to prevail against all odds in a life where the only constants are tradition and change. 

Inspiration

The act of inspiration is more than a feature of our creative mind. If directed outward, it fills the world with new opportunities, hope, and a reason never to cease being a better version of ourselves. 

May 2023 bring us all closer to fulfilling our grandest mission and vision.

From all of us at Nspirement, Blessed Holidays and a Happy New Year!

We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
