Celebrate Life
Published by Aiden on Tagged Celebrate LifeThis is a follow up to my last post on focussing on the things that you want in order to facilitate your obtaining them.
In one of the forums that I frequent someone once asked the question what it meant to “live life to the fullest” and the following was my response:
To me living life to the fullest means you experience love, peace, and joy most of the time. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but whenever you feel less than optimum, you quickly realize it and get back to your original state of joy.
Waking up every morning you’re grateful for a new day, you’re excited about it and look forward to all the good things that are in store for you.
Throughout the day you experience many wonderful things and look for the good things in everything and everyone and by so doing, even more great things come your way.
At the end of the day you reflect back on all the good and wonderful things big and small that you were able to experience throughout the day, and again be thankful and grateful for them. Then you retire and have a peaceful, restful sleep.
So basically you enjoy every day, every month, every season, every moment of your life. Your life is a celebration, not a struggle.
Let’s elaborate on what I wrote above and imagine a perfect day.
Every new day is a precious gift to you. You thank the Creator for giving you another day to live and enjoy. Yes, life is meant to be enjoyed. So you start your day by appreciating everything that you have that could be easily taken for granted. The nice warm bed and pillow that you slept on through the night; the bathroom sink with running water, your tooth brush and tooth paste, and your cosmetics that help you look and smell great.
You give thanks for your health. What if you’re in less than perfect health? You still give thanks for another day and the chance to get better. If it’s sunny, you’re grateful for the sun that warms the earth and brightens your day. If it’s raining, you appreciate the rain that keeps everything green and beautiful, as well as the water that sustains life.
On your way to work, school, or wherever you’re headed first thing in the morning, you’re thankful for the car you’re driving or the cab or bus driver that’s available to take you places. Along your way you look at the green trees, the colorful flowers, the beautiful architecture of the buildings you pass by, and admire nature as well as human creations. When you’re in such a state of mind, you’ll find it hard to get annoyed or angry even when someone cuts you off or is rude to you in some way.
When you get to your destination, you appreciate the people you meet, smile to them, and share your kindness with them even in the simplest way such as opening the door. You’re thankful for the opportunity to serve others and make their lives better. When someone provides service or shows kindness to you, you feel blessed and thank them. Again, in that state of mind, you won’t easily get irritated or confrontational with anyone. You will perceive your problems as challenges and be excited about finding solutions.
When you get back home, you appreciate having a place you can call home whether it’s a mansion or a one-bedroom apartment. You’re grateful for your family that you can spend time with, the delicious dinner that you share together. You’re also thankful for your pets and being able to extend your love to other creatures.
When it’s time to end the day, you take a few moments to reflect back on the many great and wonderful things that you experienced throughout the day and again give thanks to the Creator. Then you’re back in the same cozy bed, perhaps with a loved one beside you to share more love and a peaceful, restful night.
Each day you experience all the richness and abundance that life has to offer. So to you every day is a celebration, something to look forward to. You’re enjoying life to the fullest. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could live your life like that? You know what? You can! Just decide that you’re going to make it that way no matter what.
When you start living your life to the fullest, you’re setting yourself to be in harmony with the things you want, and more wonderful things will start appearing in your life. Life is full of magic.
So celebrate each day, celebrate life, celebrate you!
