‘Life
is not about waiting for the storms to
pass
It
is about learning how to dance in the rain’
Life is a precious gift
from God which is to be celebrated. To celebrate life is to
live your life being mindful of every moment. It means to accept
yourself as you are and embrace joyfully all that life offers you. It means to
thank God for each and every moment in
your life. Celebrating your life is a daily experience, and not an occasional big
event. You celebrate your life as you
live and your experience becomes
another occasion to celebrate. The key to
celebration is not what you are
feeling but rather what you are
experiencing in solidarity with others.
Life is too important to
be wasted on worries and trifles. Meditation and relaxation on a
daily basis will help you to remain calm and face life with equanimity. Count
your blessings not your troubles. Live in the present moment, smile often,
exercise daily. Dress as becomingly as possible. Count most enjoyable moments
of your life. Pray regularly, help others. Prioritise to do
interesting and important things. Life is a mixture of sunshine and
rain, laughter and tears drops, pleasure or pain, high tides and low tides,
losses and gains. Life is too short to simply exist. You are given the chance
to live the best life possible. Life is a daily choice. The choice to live consciously and fully is what makes your life
meaningful and worthwhile.
Can you think of yourself
as a painter and your Life as a blank canvas? Take the biggest brush you can
imagine and dip it into the colour of your choice. Be generous with your colour
and apply it on the blank canvas. Paint with joy, Create, new piece of art.
This is just your life can be-joyful, colourful and vivid! Just the way you
want it to be! You have to believe,
it is possible. And you have to
believe you have the choice to
make it so. The realization of your dream depends on how badly you
desire it and how you’re willing to work
toward it.
The
more you praise and celebrate your life, the
more there is in life to
celebrate.
