A White Christmas by The Dysania Concept (2022)
Christmas looms, and we start to imagine his sleigh between the stars in the sky, led by Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer. We begin to hear him say, “Ho-ho-ho.” We ponder how he makes millions of gifts and wonder how on earth he travels the world in a single night to give them out. Christmas looms, and Santa Claus comes to life again, infecting all of us with his kindness and joy. A myth as old as time, evolving in appearance and identity but never in spirit. So, as we all become surrounded by Christmas, we invite you to read this edition of The Mindsets, where we’ll explore the qualities, virtues and skills Santa Claus has that allow him to be one of the purest images of happiness and love. As Edwin Osgood Grover said, “Santa Claus is anyone who loves another and seeks to make them happy; who gives himself by thought or word or deed in every gift that he bestows.”
1. Idealistic Dreamer
Santa Claus is an idealistic dreamer who will work relentlessly towards his far-fetched goal - creating billions of gifts within a year and delivering them in a single night. Idealistic dreamers focus on what seems like an unattainable goal and work with all their might and power towards it. Thus, Santa Claus fits the category, as every Christmas, he proves his impeccable work ethic, along with Mrs Claus, the elves and the reindeer, when he reaches his ideal dream. Still, we who aren’t magical beings must be aware of the dangers of idealistic dreaming and remember we must also be realistic dreamers. A balance between a supposedly unattainable goal within real-life parameters might be the most thrilling and captivating chases of our lives.
2. Altruistic
Santa Claus’ altruism helps him dedicate his life to the happiness of others. As he devotes the time between Christmases to produce billions of gifts and, on Christmas Eve, travels around 195 countries, Santa Claus lives a life dedicated to the happiness and inspiration of the children he blesses with gifts. Along with Mrs Claus and his team, Santa Claus works endlessly to reward children’s good behaviour around the world and make them believe in happiness, kindness and love. Like Santa Claus, we must be able to chase our goals as we also help inspire joy in the ones around us, always encouraging kindness and love through our selfless deeds.
3. Humble
Santa Claus’ humbleness allows him to be a great leader. It is a well-known fact that anytime Santa Claus is approached by an elf, he will always first say, how can I help? By being humble, loving and kind, Santa Claus is one of humanity’s best examples of leadership. As he runs a factory with, some stories say six and others say thousands of elves, his leadership is unmatched. Santa Claus never forgets to mention the importance of his elves and reindeer during his production and distribution of gifts and Mrs Claus’ unquestionable support. So similarly, as we chase, obtain and chase more goals, we must always remain true to our origins, support system and self. No matter the success, we must never let it cloud our judgment and become someone we are not. Therefore, remember always to be humble, thank the people who deserve it, be a leader and build success, but never forget who you are in the process.
Santa Claus is one of the purest images of happiness and love due to his ability to inspire his best qualities, virtues and skills in others. Santa is an idealistic dreamer who will always work towards his goal regardless of setbacks. He will forever work for the happiness of the ones he bestows his gifts upon, as his altruism and humbleness permit him to remain his true self, focused on his purpose in life, inspiring good and creating smiles for a better world. Therefore, we invite you to implement The Santa Claus Mindset during the holiday season and the rest of your life as you implement Santa’s work ethic to your path toward your goals. Have a Merry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!
