Christmas is a reminder of love, of giving. It stems back to the ultimate love story - the love of the infinite for the finite. The Creator for his creatures. The pure for the unpure. Of ultimate and unconditional love for the unloved. Beauty for the non-beautiful. It is a reminder of the love of God towards his creatures. It is not a mere myth of baby in a manger, helpless, adored, swaddled. It is powerful, glorious, stunning in its glory. It is like a shot from heaven for the faltering creatures, faltering from lack of love, meaning and hope. The ultimate power fuel, love potion, energizer.

Relationships give meaning, life, joy. We were created to love and beloved. At our center, we live, work, breathe, so that we can have fulfilling relationships – with ourselves ( ie, positive and fulfilled), with our creator, and with the people around us. But relationships mean vulnerability. And at times, when the sparkle is gone, learning to trust again is not a step many fear to take.

Having a high self-esteem is essential to happiness, success and fulfillment. Having self esteem simply means to appreciate yourself, to regard yourself as worthy and important, purposeful, accepted and confident.
How you esteem yourself is reflected in your self image and it is your conception of your beliefs about yourself. How you see yourself therefore will influence your thoughts actions, feelings and behavior and ultimately your abilities and the results you produce in your life.
If your self-esteem is not high, you will tend to carry an image of yourself as a defeated person, a person of little worth and regard, an object a victim of injustice and defeat.

The Law of attraction, Science of Getting Rich, The Secret all tell us that if we focus a thought long enough, things will happen. But if no action is taken in that direction, even for a hundred years of thinking and focusing, nothing will happen. The law of attraction will simply not work in a vacuum, if you're doing nothing.

Keep believing in the here-and-now,
