Share Your Gifts Freely

Stop Giving Advice

Start giving gifts instead!

Advice is directive, impersonal, and generic,

focusing on telling others what they should or should not do.

Advice sounds like this:

“Make sure you follow these steps exactly to blahzay blah blah…”

Do as I say.

Guidance can be conveyed in a "gift format”:

“Gift format” is engaging and relatable.

It feels like a gift because it's shared through personal experience and storytelling, rather than simply listing steps to follow.

“Let me share a story with you about how I did blah blah and blah.”

Language is our gift.

Human beings wield language as our greatest tool,

Shaping thoughts into tangible symbols,

Weaving stories that dance through minds and hearts.

With words, we paint landscapes of emotion,

Sculpting meaning from the raw clay of experience.

It is our voices, our words, that resonate,

Binding us together through expression.

We find our truest selves in the realm of words.
