Moments of You-Celebrate
“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Do not wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it is at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savoured.”
Earl Nightingale
Not every moment we celebrate ourselves. Why do we only celebrate ourselves when there is a birthday, wedding, or even a funeral/death? We should celebrate our beings each and every day of our lives. I know that there has to be moments in our lives that we want to celebrate. These moments do not have to warrant a huge shebang but it is time to give ourselves more credit than we do.
With so much going on in this crazy mixed up world, we should celebrate that we are not a part of the madness. I clearly understand that many parts of the world are in chaos but that does not mean that we do not have the right to celebrate ourselves during this time. We work hard and just as hard as many others out here in this world. Should we not celebrate that because to a few bosses they are trying to figure out ways to get rid of a particular employee because they are dead weight; you should celebrate because that person is not you because you show astounding work ethic and do not slack in times of need on the job. With so many senseless crimes happening, let us celebrate that we are not involved in those acts of life. With so many killings happening day after day, let us celebrate that we did not have a hand in taking that life. With so many children being hurt, let us celebrate that we love and cherish our children and that they do not endure that harsh lifestyle.
Why are we not celebrating our small accomplishments? We complained less than usual, we are motivated to the fullest rather than being lazy and procrastinating on a project, we are focused more on the important things, and not letting them slip through the cracks, we are more affectionate to one another (children/family), and caring more for the ones who are in need of our help. We should celebrate us-because we do not fall in the likes of being cruel, hateful, crime driven and much, much more. This here is to shine some positive light on the people in this world who are acting accordingly towards life. Many times hey mainly all of the time we get looked over because of all of the negative that is raining down upon us-So how about taking a moment and celebrate YOU. I think that you deserve it and you should as well.
Shine On!!
