Give Your Christmas to Someone Who Needs It

The statistics are really quite unbelievable.

The average American home has nearly tripled in size over the last 50 years—yet, over 50% of us with two-car garages have room for only one vehicle inside. We each store 300,000 items inside our home and 10% of us rent some form of offsite storage.

Our homes contain more televisions than people. We spend more on shoes, jewelry, and watches ($100 billion) than on higher education. And the average American woman owns 30 outfits, one for every day of the month—in 1930, that figure was nine. Home organization, the service that’s trying to find places for all our clutter, is now an $8 billion industry, growing at a rate of 10 percent each year.

Our living spaces have become filled with possessions of every kind: our countertops are crowded, our closets are stuffed, our bedrooms are filled, and our drawers are overflowing.

And yet, this Black Friday weekend, we will accumulate more.

It is estimated 140 million Americans will go shopping this weekend.

We will spend $50 billion over the next three days. And over the course of the holiday season, we will spend $600 billion adding more and more things to our already crowded homes.

It is not surprising that “How can I control gift-related clutter?” is one of the most common questions I get asked. And by “most common questions” I mean, at almost every speaking event I attend, somebody asks me about it.

Let’s start here: Before buying a whole bunch of stuff for your loved ones this holiday season, maybe you should ask if they even want a whole bunch of stuff. You might be surprised by their response.

But I’d like to challenge your thinking even more and offer you one idea this Christmas season that might be a win-win situation for everyone.

This money we are spending at department stores actually holds within it enormous potential. Consider this: Nearly half the world’s population, 2.8 billion people, survive on less than $2 a day. To put that into perspective, Americans will spend, on average, roughly $400 per person this weekend… in just three days, we will spend more than half the annual income of 2.8 billion individuals!

Which is fine, I think, if we were buying things that actually improved our lives. But, in reality, most of the stuff we buy these days doesn’t.

Meanwhile, our money can be used to solve significant problems. It can further causes we believe in and bring about the good we desire to see in the world.

And the needs around the world are plentiful.

Earlier this year, along with the help of some amazing friends, my wife and I founded a nonprofit organization to help bring awareness and better solutions to the orphan crisis around the world.

Worldwide, over 26 million children live without parents—but the problem does not end there.

Decades of research have indicated that normal, institutional-style orphanages are not solving the problem adequately. In fact, in too many places, they are only continuing the crisis. When children do not receive adequate personal interaction within a loving environment, development is stunted and learning abilities are delayed or lost. Many kids age out of orphanages only to face a future of crime, prostitution, or trafficking.

The Hope Effect is seeking to change orphan care around the world by focusing on solutions that better mimic the family-unit.

And we invite you to be part of the solution.

One of the ways we are inviting people to get involved in the orphan crisis is by offering them opportunity to give their Christmas away to someone who needs it.

We call it “Homes for the Holidays” and the idea is very simple: Instead of asking for gifts this holiday season, ask for donations that make a difference. Rather than adding to the clutter in your home this holiday season, ask your friends and family to help provide homes for orphans by making a donation rather than purchasing another present.

It is easy to do so. With just a few minutes, you can create your very own personalized fundraising page and easily share it with your friends and family through e-mail, Facebook, or Twitter.

The opportunity represents a win-win-win situation. You benefit from less holiday gift clutter to store and organize in January. Your friends and family benefit from less-stressful holiday preparations. And, most importantly, orphans around the world will benefit by being raised in a loving family environment. Can you imagine? How amazing would that be! Our money can be used to solve such significant problems.

Already, 100 hundred people have created individual fundraising pages. I have created mine and now you can create yours.

With 100% of your friends’ and family’s donations being used directly for orphan care, everyone will feel good about the contribution being made.

Our goal is to have 300 people by the end of week gift their holiday season to someone who needs it. Doesn’t that sound so much more rewarding than receiving more unneeded gifts this year?

If so, join me and sign up here today: Help provide Homes for the Holidays.

#ReclaimThanksgiving

Only in America do we wait in line and trample each other for sale items one day after giving thanks for what we already have.

It started out simple enough. In fact, it makes a lot of sense when you take it at face value.

Since 1940, the Thanksgiving holiday has been celebrated in the US on the fourth Thursday of November. Of course, the holiday pre-dates our current calendar designation by hundreds of years. The first nationwide celebration of Thanksgiving was established by our first president, George Washington when he proclaimed Thanksgiving to be, “a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favours of Almighty God.”

After the Thanksgiving holiday, we begin looking forward to the next: Christmas. Given the fact that exchanging gifts on Christmas dates back to the 4th Century, it makes perfect sense that the holiday shopping season would begin at this point. Indeed, it always has. Even the Macy’s Day Parade, which began in the 1920’s, was originally made up of store employees marching to Macy’s flagship store on 34th Street dressed in vibrant costumes.

For a very long time, the Friday after Thanksgiving has marked the beginning of the Christmas season—and rightfully so I might add.

Sometime in the 1980’s, we began referring to this day as Black Friday. The most common rumor surrounding the name is that the day after Thanksgiving is the first day of the year that retail stores make an actual profit and their Accounting books turn from “red” to “black.” This, of course, could not be further from the truth, and has been confirmed as myth from almost every reputable historical source.

The true history is that the term “Black Friday” was originally used as a negative designation of the Friday after Thanksgiving, when, in Philadelphia, unruly fans would descend upon the city, its merchants, and its police force for the annual Army-Navy football game.

Sometime in the late 1980’s, however, the term Black Friday was usurped by retail stores nationwide and turned into something that reflected positively, rather than negatively, on them and their customers.

Again, this makes perfect sense. Retail stores are more than welcome to celebrate the beginning of the holiday shopping season with discounted prices on their items. If I owned a retail outlet, I would probably do the same.

However, at some point during my lifetime, things began to change. Black Friday became more than a day to celebrate the beginning of the holiday shopping season. Black Friday became an event in and of itself.

At first, it was a plethora of advertisements that would arrive on our doorstep Thanksgiving morning. It wasn’t all that long ago I can remember rushing to get the paper so I could begin thumbing through the sales for the following day. Little did I realize at the time how those ads were affecting me—a day originally set aside for giving thanks was quickly becoming a day focused on all the things I didn’t have.

Somewhere around that time, stores began going to extraordinary lengths to attract shoppers. A simple discount on their goods was no longer sufficient. To prepare for the day, national retail chains would begin planning months in advance to secure the hottest consumer products and offer a limited amount to the first customers at a net loss. They may lose a little money on the item, but the offer would lure customers into their store on that important day. Camping out in front of stores and trampling other shoppers suddenly became a thing.

Stores began opening at 6am on the day after Thanksgiving. And for most of my lifetime, this was the story of Black Friday.

But things began to change in the late 2000’s. At first, stores began competing for shoppers by opening earlier and earlier on Black Friday. Looking back, it appears almost inevitable. Doors opened at 5:00am and then 4:00am. And once the ball got rolling, there was nothing in place to stop it.

This was taken to a new extreme in 2011, when several retailers opened at midnight for the first time.

In 2012, stores took the unprecedented step of opening on Thanksgiving Day (8:00pm).

By 2014, stores began opening their doors at 5:00pm on Thursday. This year, some stores will open at 3:00pm on Thanksgiving Day.

And just when you thought we had reached a new low in our society, Verizon renames the day before Thanksgiving: Thanksgetting—as a means to promote its holiday deals and lure shoppers.

With each encroachment, the Thanksgiving holiday gets squeezed a little bit more. A day previously set aside for giving thanks has been hijacked by retailers hoping to earn a dollar.

But Thanksgiving is important. Giving thanks calls us to recognize and celebrate the good in our lives. And in a society that works so hard to distract us from our blessings, the importance of giving thanks cannot be overstated.

Gratitude matters. It breeds contentment, helps us overcome selfishness, and encourages generosity. Grateful people are happier, healthier, and experience greater life satisfaction. Gratitude reminds us that what we have is enough and we have been provided for already.

At some point, it seems, we need to make a statement. We need to rise up and reclaim Thanksgiving. We need to reclaim it in our hearts and we need to reclaim it in our society.

That time is now! And who better to lead that charge than us?

Will you commit with me to not allow retail outlets to encroach on your holiday and distract you from gratitude? Will you commit to focus on the blessings in your life and celebrate your provisions from the previous year? Will you be vigilant about not allowing consumerism to creep into your Thanksgiving celebration?

If so, tell us on Facebook and Twitter how you intend to overcome consumerism and reclaim Thanksgiving this Thursday. Tell us about your holiday traditions or plans. Or simply express your gratitude by sharing with the world what you are thankful for this year.

With each tweet or status update, include the hashtag: #ReclaimThanksgiving.

With each individual participant, we will remind more and more people of the importance of gratitude. And we will take a stand against the retailers who continue to trample on it.

Holiday Weekend Job Search Do’s and Don’ts

Can you afford to holiday from your job search on a holiday weekend?

Photo Credit: Kevin Dooley

Yes, you can. (And you should!)

You might vacation, you might have extended family meals and you might have friends hosting house parties. Enjoy them all and keep these few things in mind.

Don’t actively job search on a holiday weekend

…unless you live in a country that has a holiday weekend every weekend (I’m looking at you, France every May).

A recent study said that many people get their best ideas in the shower because:

1. A lot of dopamine is released in our brains. Triggers like exercising, listening to music, and, yes, taking a warm shower, contribute to increased dopamine flow.
2. We’re relaxed. When we have a relaxed state of mind, we’re more likely to turn attention inwards, able to make insightful connections. 
3. We’re distracted. Distraction gives our brains a break so our subconscious can work on a problem more creatively. 

Those conditions should hold true on holiday weekends too.

Not thinking about your job search could be the best thing for your job search.

Do enjoy the time away (I hope)

…from your computer screen, job boards, email, application forms, LinkedIn messages to congratulate other people on their new jobs, cover letters, work portfolios, job fairs, followups, references, background checks, networking events, interview preparations, graphology tests, recruiters, job search blogs (ahem) and everything else related to your next paycheck.

Don’t be embarrassed to talk about your job search

Millions of people are dealing with the same issues that you are, and millions more will begin to do so in the coming months. It might be uncomfortable and hard, even, but it’s normal and nothing to be ashamed about.

In fact, most of the adults you see or meet during your holiday weekend will have been through more than one job search of their own and will know what you’re going through.

Do be prepared with a good answer to “how’s your job search?”

One of the reasons people are ashamed to admit they’re job hunting is because they don’t have good answers to that question, so when they hem and haw, it sounds like they’re not progressing or even sure what to do next.

That might even be true – it was for me on my first and second job searches – but that doesn’t mean you have to leave a bad impression by showing it outright.

Instead, have a good elevator pitch about what you do best and, if people bring it up, casually reply by asking if they know any companies that need people like you.

Mention your most recent job search success, no matter how small, such as an upcoming job interview or a compliment from a recruiter.

Do bring business cards

Did you know that job seekers need business cards too?

Have simple but professional business cards that say you consult in your industry or area of expertise, and hand them out to those same questioners. They’ll come away impressed, the right way.

Why You Should Have a Mission Statement for Your Small Business

Many business owners know what a mission statement is, and understand how important it is to have one. Indeed, many of us will be familiar with such statements from major organisations. We all understand the benefits of such a statement and how its existence can be used to keep a company aligned to its core values and focus. Yet many smaller businesses do not have one.

But What Do You Want to be Thanked For?

Gratitude is important. Gratitude causes us to no longer desire a different life. Instead, it invites us to make the most of the one life we already have.

It calls us to recognize and celebrate the good we have. And in a society that works so hard to distract us from our blessings, the importance of gratitude cannot be overstated.

This is an important week in my country as we set aside an entire day specifically for thanksgiving. May each of us make the most of it as we celebrate our blessings and thank those who have made it possible.

But this year, I have been challenged by a new question. What if, rather than just asking, “What do I have to be thankful for?” we also began asking, “What do I want to be thanked for?”

I first heard the question posed by a good friend of mine during a conversation we were having about important life decisions. He phrased it this way, “I just keep asking, ‘At the end of my life, what do I want to be thanked for?’” He then began listing some of the things he wishes his family would be able to say to him and about him.

I immediately found his question to be highly profound and uniquely clarifying. It is worth taking the time to arrive at an answer:

At the end of your life, what do you want to be thanked for?

The question calls us to make specific decisions about legacy and values—and it challenges our assumptions that our lives will unintentionally arrive at them. It causes us to align our practice with our principles. And that is what makes it so important.

Also, since our conversation weeks ago, I have discovered the question has almost limitless potential.

For example, what if I changed the question just slightly. What if, rather than “At the end of my life, what do I want to be thanked for?” I asked myself, “At the end of this week, what do I want to be thanked for?” Or even more specific, “By the end of the day, what do I want my co-workers to thank me for?”

This question could influence my life on an almost hour-by-hour basis.

I have a friend who is a local highway patrolman in the Phoenix area. He once told me that his goal with every traffic stop is to receive a thank-you from the driver of the vehicle by the end. “Look,” he said, “nobody is ever happy about being pulled over. But I’ve found that most people, if you treat them with respect and kindness, will take notice. And you’d be surprised how many end our conversation by saying, ‘Thank you officer’. That’s always my goal.”

What if that became our desire as well? What if we entered every interaction with another human being asking ourselves, “At the end of this conversation, what do I want them to thank me for?”

Almost always, I think, we would arrive at the answers of:

• I want to be thanked for being loving and attentive.
• I want to be thanked for being encouraging and a positive influence in their day.
• I want to be thanked for making a small difference in their life.

How might those motivations go on to affect the expression on our face, the words that we choose, or the attention that we give? It would be profound.

Again, there are countless opportunities to apply this thinking. I’d like to offer one more:

At the end of Thanksgiving day, what do I want my family to thank me for?

Then, ask yourself: What atmosphere do I need to create for that happen? What conversation do I need to have? Or what good can I offer that somebody closest to me needs the most this Thanksgiving weekend?

This Thursday, express as much gratitude as possible. But take some time in the midst of your thanksgiving to ask yourself more than, “What do I have to be thankful for?” Ask yourself, also, “What do I want to be thanked for?”

And then, go make it a reality.
