What are you focused on this Christmas? Are you focused on buying your family members gifts, or on baking the cookies for your company’s big holiday party? Are you focused on getting your house decorated so you can beat your neighbors in a competition for who has the greatest Christmas decorations? Are you stressing over…

Have you ever heard someone say the phrase, “Seeing isn’t believing. Believing is seeing”? That line can be used in every aspect of life.
