<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, who will stick a penny in the sweet blonde\u2019s hat (figured it was worth a try)? This time of year, it\u2019s easy to get wrapped up in the holiday hustle and bustle and spend the entire month of December running around like a crazy Kris Kringle. Add getting all your 2020 budgets and business planning done along with December\u2019s tasks, and one can tend to forget the real reason for the season.<\/p>\n
In short, the Messiah\u2019s reasons should become our motivators always, but especially in the month of December. If we listen to John the Baptist carefully, we will hear that there\u2019s never one reason that defines Jesus\u2019 arrival. The Good News is more than just a headline. The Good News and the God who brings this message is everything between you and the infinite.<\/p>\n
According to Simon Sinek (whose voice carries much weight as the third most-watched Ted Talk of all time with 46 million views), \u201cthe minute we\u2019re born, we\u2019re players in the infinite game, and that means we get one choice in life: how we want to play. We can choose to live our lives with a finite mindset, which means trying to get richer, more powerful than all of our friends, to get more, have more \u2013 but what is the point?<\/p>\n
\u201cRather, we want to live a life of service, and that\u2019s what we write on our tombstones \u2013 what we did for others. \u2018Devoted mother,\u2019 \u2018loving husband,\u2019 \u2018she inspired us.\u2019 To live an infinite life means to live our lives so that others may benefit from the work that we do \u2013 so we will literally live on forever, because we will look at ourselves and say, \u2018I am who I am today partly because I carry with me the spirit of someone who\u2019s no longer here, and I will pass their lessons on to my children and my colleagues and my friends.\u2019 In an infinite-minded life, just like in business, trust is better, cooperation is better, ideas are stronger and\u00a0remarkably those ideals live on beyond us. It\u2019s a beautiful thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
Most days, it\u2019s too easy to stay focused on our own lives \u2013 our work, our problems, what we have to accomplish and what is stressing us out. But it\u2019s easy to forget that everyone else in the world has just as much on their plate as we do \u2013 sometimes even more. During the holiday season especially, it\u2019s important to remember that every person you come in contact with has his or her own story and sometimes all it takes is a simple gift \u2013 a sturdy pair of shoes, a warm winter coat, a blanket, a cherry limeade or just a hug. These things may seem small, but they may be the gift that helps to get someone else up on their feet.<\/p>\n
This year, after you\u2019ve opened your gifts and shared a few laughs with family and friends, think back on the true meaning of the season and what Christmas means to you. As the always wise Doogie Howser, M.D. said, \u201cGetting is good. Giving is better. Once you understand that, it\u2019s always Christmas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Merry Christmas, from all of us here at BioZyme.<\/p>\n
