Life Is To Celebrate

We live once, we have this amazing life to live, but how many times do we take the time to celebrate it and enjoy the moments given to us? We notice many of us have regrets when sleeping on a dying bed, the reflection of time lost runs like a film, and all we have left is “I wish I did this; I wish I said this.” However, we cannot turn the clock backwards & relive, but what we can do is we can start reflecting now to have a better life. There are so many things to appreciate and celebrate daily. Start with your health, focus on the day, on the sunshine we get as for some parts of the World this is not a daily routine. It’s the small things that make a difference.

Have fun celebrating your life and discovering things that make you happy without spending a penny….

Make a habit of counting your blessings daily, wake up saying thank you for the breath, look around you and feel gratitude, celebrate that feeling of being alive. It is a gift, the Lord has done wonders on you; if only we knew that we are made in the image of the creator.

Make a commitment to make someone else’s day special, make them happy, you can take a few hours and spend them with your parents/spouse/kids, you can take them out for a walk, to lunch, cook for them yourself. It’s in giving that you shall receive, and this also makes you feel complete. Celebrate life, you do not need a special day to do it. Surprise yourself!

Past is past, remember we do not drive looking at the rear screen of the car, so let go & move on. Learn from your mistakes & celebrate the lesson learnt. Undesirable moments can cause you to feel low, but then that is the past so remind yourself of that.

First recipe for happiness is: avoid too lengthy meditation on the past. – Andre Maurols

Spend time with people you feel comfortable with, enjoy those ‘now moments’ & celebrate the time spent by appreciating the company.

All of us know, that a time will come for us when we take our last breath and leave this human body.

We live as if there are countless days ahead. We fail to seize the moment and grab the opportunities to enjoy life to its fullest. Do things that make your heart sing, or express how you feel about the ones you cherish the most. It always seems that we will be able to do that “later” when the only thing we really have is “now”!

So, what’s on your bucket list? Don’t wait for later, enjoy your life now.
Make those plans and put them into action now. Just know the celebration is on, we must live and die happy, not miserable and sad and filled with regrets.

Be grateful to all those who make you happy. Appreciate them. You may also need to practice detachment. This does not mean you have to be cold towards people, just know too much attachment can bring pain.

“Attachment is a great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone is detached.” – Simone Weil

Everything we have is a gift from the universe. Time is the biggest gift, make use of it wisely, do not waste it. We cannot turn the clock backwards. So here is a time to celebrate, the moment ‘now’ is the important one.
