One of the things I have always appreciated about the holidays is the carols. Nothing seems to bring in Christmas like a good Christmas song. It creates a feeling in the air that is like no other. Whether you hear it on the radio in your car, in the stores, or just have it playing in your home around the Christmas tree, it is a sure way to ring in the holiday feeling.
“PEACE ON EARTH GOOD WILL TOWARDS MEN,” is a familiar line that we all know and sing. One way that we can offer “peace on earth” or spread “good will towards men” is when we do small acts of kindness—but it’s important that we do it in our way. Just like the song The Little Drummer Boy when he came to see “the newborn King,” he had nothing to offer except his gift, his
abilities, his talents, so he used just that and he played for Him. It is a great display of sharing authenticity.
I call this an imprint. Just like the little drummer boy, when we want to offer “good will towards men” we offer ourselves in an organic way, in our design. And when we leave, we have left something with that person or persons that we served—our imprint. It is a feeling, an example experienced in a way that no one else can offer. These are the times that our effect leaves others wanting to be better for it.

As we enter this Christmas season it is great to give gifts, but make sure some of these gifts are a display of our authenticity. It will serve all those we come in contact with. Some of the people you affect might not even be observable, they might just notice it from afar. It still has the same impact. Remember that you are unique in your design and you do leave an imprint wherever you go. Make it count this year. Remember, everyone is a masterpiece.
