The greatest gift is to give yourself.

Let the heart and soul have peaceful serenity. Through decades of life and living we've been exposed to many different ways of emanating love and gathering it as well into our being. When we consider others more than ourselves it brings to us the magical elements of happiness. When the heart and soul is surrounded by love there comes to light every single piece of needed elements to build upon and without wanting it to be the case we do end up closer to Heaven because of unselfishness. When you allow yourself to gather and fill your existence with the love and care for others there are angels that honor the chance of surrounding you and leading you down the path that will most benefit others. This is the way it is because unselfishness is the magical code for one's essence to humbly rise above. Do nothing for yourself and remain gracious through unselfishness and you will never lack any of the basic treasures of life.
