It’s the time of year for sending holiday wishes to Santa and prayers to higher powers for the things we desire. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday, nobody can escape the abundance of retail and online enticements.

If you happen to be a Santa to others in your personal or professional life, you clearly know the objective cost of making other’s wishes come true.

But what about the wishes money can’t buy, such as better health, improved relationships, and of course, greater peace on earth?

EXERCISE:

What are your intrinsic and extrinsic wishes for these holidays, and the new year?

What will it take and what will it cost for all of these wishes to come true?
