It's Not Your Birthday, So What!

Your day begins...

And did you celebrate yourself for being alive to have a day to begin? This morning, as I got up, I thought to myself, "Today, I have a choice. I can either celebrate my life the way it is today, what I like and don't like, or continue to wait for another temporary fix of external happiness to pacify me until I claim my own happiness, from the inside out. What's it going to be?"

And I share this with you, dear reader:

Are you willing to celebrate yourself today, just as you are?

Are you willing to celebrate "the good" and "the bad" as equals?

Are you willing to celebrate any unwillingness you may have to celebrate?

As you know, life is happening; are you seeing it as life is living you or you are living life? Today, take a couple of deep breaths and throw yourself a 30-second party that you're here, alive and the only thing between you, what you want, what you enjoy and a moment of bliss is yourself. Get out of your way and let yourself shine. Stop being your own shadow and celebrate yourself today - even for a minute.
