1) Your Time
       How many of you are too busy with your
       own lives to give your time to others? Being busy
       is an excuse and a reason not to go out of your way.
       People need you and love you. They want to see you.
       Let them have some time with you.

 2) Your Support
       How many of you really support the
       people in your life? What I mean by support is
       encouragement and reasons to try something new,
       not 10 different reasons why it won't work for them.
       Just because it didn't work this time. There's nothing
       better than telling a person that they can do
       whatever they want in this world.

 3) Your Acceptance
       This may be a toughie for some.
       This means unconditional love and the ability to
       love someone for who they are and not what you want
       them to be. It means giving up how you think their life
       should go ... accepting them for what they want to do
       with their lives. This is the greatest gift that you
       can give to the people in your life.

 4) Your Attention
       How many of you really listen to the
       people in your life? For everyone who just said
       "Of course I do" then why are the people in your life
       asking you to repeat what they have just said?
       It's because they know that you didn't hear them. Take
       a few minutes, stop what you are doing, and focus
       on the people who you love. Aren't they worth it? And
       who knows, you may even learn something that you
       thought you already knew.

 5) Your Forgiveness
       Forgiving people for past mistakes
       and hurts is one of the greatest gifts you can
       give them. After all they are only human. Plus, I'm
       sure that you haven't been the perfect human being either.
       Keeping hurt and anger in your life is just an
       excuse not to get close to people for fear that they
       will hurt you again.

 6) Your Patience
       How many of you can't even be with
       the people you love because they are taking too
       long to tell a story or are taking longer than "you
       think" to complete a project that you think should take a
       lesser time. How do you know that there isn't a
       better way to do something if the people around you
       always have to do it your way? Having patience with
       people shows that they are respected and loved. Isn't
       this a great gift to give to people around you?

 7) Your Love
       People want to know that they are special
       in your life and that you care about them. If
       there are things that are keeping you from loving them
       such as conversations that you want to have with them,
       but you're afraid, my advice is to say it. Sometimes
       you have to take risk to achieve an open and
       rewarding relationship. Take the risk and give your love.

 8) Your Ideas
       Sometimes people want to move forward in
       their lives but they don't know how. You may know
       something that they never thought of. And who
       knows, your ideas may change somebody's life. So
       go ahead, don't be afraid to share what you know.

 9) Your Smile
       There is nothing better than entering a
       room seeing someone smile when you walk in. Right
       then and there you know that your presence makes a
       difference in their life. A smile is easy. You
       just grin upward. Plus, you burn many more calories
       then from frowning.

 10) A Hug
       Human touch warms the heart and keeps us
       connected. In addition, it doesn't take much
       effort, it costs nothing, and it makes someone's
       day. Couldn't you find time in your schedule to hug
       someone you love today?

 But it's good too, to check up once in a while and make
 sure you haven't lost the things that you can't buy."
