Christmas is just round the corner, and there is all reason for one to contemplate. Christmas is a time for reflection, kindness, spreading happiness and hope around. It’s the time of the year to become selfless and spread good vibes around.

The ongoing question remains, in these times of corruption, crime, recession and downsizing, how is one to keep up the good cheer? The times are bad and circumstances are forcing people to any kind of criminal activity, in such a case how are we to keep up our morale? Is there anything worth hoping for, or are things going to just spiral downwards?

I think if you think of yourself less and others more, then you will get some answers. Also, think of all the people who are less fortunate and you will start counting your blessings. After all, life is what you make of it.

Christmas is a time for soul searching when you can sit with pen and paper and think of all the causes of your failures and the reasons for your success. Are you demanding too much out of yourself and the environment? Are you greedy, jealous, competitive to the core, petty, small, and pathetic? Find out for yourself what you really lack and work towards improving your faults.

For eg, after some deep analysis and searching I found out that I am obsessed with my physical self. I identify with my body as the only means of self expression, and this could probably be the cause of all the bitterness and rancour from my friends and colleagues.

This is a time to introspect and look for answers not only to your individual situation, but also to the collective whole. Christmas is here, are you available to yourself?
