This post was written back in 08, but some things never go out of style.

If you are getting ready to read a post about products you can buy for that ’special someone’ this coming Valentines Day, click back or do another search on Google.

This post is my thoughts on a non or less commercial approach to the day. These gifts are free, and at the same time rare and priceless.

Here are my 4 Top Gifts For Valentines Day.

Love

Though this may seem obvious, given that the theme of the day is expressing your love, it can easily turn into something done out of a sense of obligation. Take some time to prepare for the day. For the rest of the week spend a few moments each day (you don’t have to watch all the commercials) reflecting on your love for that special person. Really build the awareness so when the day arrives your love is truly felt. Be purposeful in directing your love.

Sincerity

When you have that person you love and you are now strongly aware of that love, be sincere in your expression. Don’t buy a last minute gift, or something that you like (ie. superimpose your tastes on them). Take the time to pick something that shows your appreciation of the person, and that you care enough to buy something that is significant to that person (guys, lingerie is not the favored gift). And remember its not how much you spend but what you spend it on. A picture collage of special moments in a simple frame can be more meaningful then a diamond eternity ring (don’t worry she’ll still like the ring)

Compassion/Sensitivity

Unfortunately there may be people that you know that are not on another persons Valentines radar. Every HUMAN being needs to feel loved, respected and valued, and if they are within your range of view they should be able to feel that from you. With this in mind I would like to suggest two things. One, choose a random acquaintance and recognize them on V-Day. Two, it is not possible to recognize everyone so be sensitive to someone that might not have any Valentines. Don’t go around comparing with others what you got, it might make others feel uncomfortable and left out. The day should be the recognition of love between two people, not a “look what great present I got” day.

Compassion and Sensitivity is a great way to express love for your fellow man.

Commitment

No this doesn’t mean that you should pressure him into marriage or talk about moving in together. Commitment means you show that this expression of love is something more than a one in 365 day event. Love is something that should be expressed on a regular basis. This doesn’t mean that you need to buy him/her presents regularly. It means an ongoing recognition that the person is special in your life.

Ways that you can show love on a regular basis :

• Greet your partner at the door with a warm smile/hug.
• Stop what you are doing (watching the game/playing on the computer) and give your full attention.
• Call in the middle of the day just to say “I love you“
• Buy a nice card just because, and write something sweet (yes you can be sweet)
• Say I love you (The obvious is often the most missed)
• Bring home her favorite chocolate
• Bring home his favorite sports magazine
• Candle light dinner.
• Go out on a date (more for married couples)

These are just some of the ideas that I have. Please share some of your own.

As you can see these gifts are not exclusive to Valentines Day, and for those that think that V-day is the only time to express your love and affection, Then you are looking for love in all the wrong places.

I am in the last phase of my Professional Coaching Program at Adler International Learning, and my program ends very soon.

Due to family demands, I’ve fallen behind on my coaching assignments and must do a substantial amount of coaching over the next few weeks. I am therefore offering a limited number of free-of-charge no-strings-attached phone-based coaching sessions. This is a great opportunity to experience and benefit from the amazing coaching process.

In this sample coaching session, you will bring an important issue on which you’d like to progress and move forward. We’ll spend 30 to 45 minutes exploring what’s up and how you might take action in a way that will make sense and feel right to you. Most people take away something valuable from this type of session, whether by obtaining greater clarity, deepening their understanding of their situation, or having new insights. Most likely, you’ll also gain clarity about initial steps you know you can do to start moving forward.

What Others Are Saying About Professional Coaching by Rob Moshe

If you’ve ever been “stuck” and need help getting un-stuck, I’m happy to recommend Rob Moshe’s personal coaching.

I worked with Rob recently on a career matter, and his demeanor, approach and skill at empowering those with whom he consults, reminded me of my own inner strength to surmount the challenges that lay before me. By no means is the process over, but it all starts with the first step, and I am pleased to have received my “walking papers” with Rob’s help.

Matt K. – California

“Working with Rob, I accomplished things that otherwise would have remained unfinished ideas. Instead of getting overwhelmed by day-to-day tasks, he guided me to take measured steps that helped me achieve my longer term goals. A compassionate and attentive listener, Rob is able to get to the heart of the matter in a single question. He was always generous in sharing information about resources I wouldn’t have known about, and educating me–without ever preaching–about helpful small business concepts and useful technology.”

Avrum N. – Ontario

I had never experienced a coaching session before. My curiosity in what makes a coaching session work was matched step by step with Rob Moshe’s curiosity in my concerns and career plans. He magnaged to tease out the thoughts that helped me formulate a path forward that I already knew to be right for me but had not taken the time out of a busy schedule to think about. Everyone could use a bit of help now and again to crystalize their thoughts. It was an interesting discussion and I would reccommend Rob readily. He was professional, courteous, and personable without being overbearing.

My first “free” coaching session was liberating using the most primal explanation. After years of giving coaching only a minute space of thought, “free” was the trigger of exploration. I know that the shackles that bound each person from their true potential are very different but to actually have someone there to help you release them is so liberating. One session and I had a better understanding of myself and the knowledge to know I had to continue.When I think of Rob I think of the saying “people don’t know what they don’t know.” It took exceptional marketing skill to give away a free session so that many could learn what they don’t know. I have learned that the distance between point A and point B is much shorted with a GOOD coach. I read self help books profusely, I had knowledge of where to go from here in my life but life has a way of getting lost in the daily cumulative tidbits of thoughts.

Rob? Well he was very professional, courteous,warm and deeply committed to his work. I can’t wait till my next session.I highly recommend if you have ever considered coaching that you TRY a session with Rob. I think you’ll agree after one session that coaching is the missing link you have been looking for. I highly recommend Rob!

Have you ever gotten to the end of a very busy day wondering why you feel like you didn’t accomplish much?
Its quite possible that instead of being productive with your day, you filled it with time waster after time waster.

Now you might be thinking that you didn’t waste much time today. You didn’t chat with friends, watch TV or YouTube vids. You didn’t even check travel information for that trip you want to go on, or check Craigslist for that elliptical that you have been trying to get at a good price. Infact you feel that you have been pretty work focused all day.

That may be so, but the question is, was your work related activity part of being productive or procrastinating?

How many times did you check your:

• Email?
• Twitter/Facebook/Squidoo/etc?
• Stock/investment portfolios?
• Affiliate programs to see if you have gotten any new affiliate or commissions?
• Newsletter sign up page.

How about watching a informational work related video, or reading some work related post/blogs, when it is not part of your current objective?

How about writing a “useful” post, when you should be working on another task that you have set for yourself? – (OK this one is directed at me personally.. I really should get back to work now.)

Throughout the day it is worthwhile to check in with yourself. Make sure you are on task, and honestly evaluate whether your current activity is task related or just procrastination.

Remember procrastinating, will never lead to success. It will just have you jumping all over the place without focus and proper direction.

Well on that note. I best get back on task or else……

Have a Stupendous Weekend,

I was exchanging some US$ for Can$ this evening. I was looking at the $100 bill and noticed the sentence “In G-d We Trust”. 

I know its there. I’ve seen it before, but this time I really noticed it.

After I left, I just kept on thinking about that line “In G-d We Trust”.

Do we really?

How do we live our lives to show this trust?

Now I am sure most of the people reading this are upright citizens who would never steal.

But what about fudging some numbers on your taxes?

Do you give charity?

I’m sure the list could go on.

How would you act if you did Trust?

How would you fee?

What would the world look like if we lived our lives by this Credo?

Something to think about.
