Do you count days to your new year? What does approaching your birthday make you feel? Do you celebrate the rare opportunity of being alive or lightly sweep away your blessing?
So may people say “I don’t like to celebrate by birthday. It makes me feel XYZ. I ask why? Why do you neglect the most important day of your life, the one that you were born at the time you were born that gives you all the information you need to discover you who are and why you were send here for.
Birthdays might feel strange. I’m often more excited for others than for my own. However I believe we must celebrate the day. This could simply be acknowledged yourself being alive, passing another year under the sun, being able to experience all that you have experienced so far. Because getting older is not a toucher, it’s a blessing. It is an experience that many we know haven’t had. It’s a treasure we must take care of.
Yes, we had lives before and we will have more. But here and now the most important is the here and now, the percent moment, the life we live.
One month left until my next birthday. Reflection is already ongoing. About the part year, about the past me, and about who I am becoming.
Don’t take life lightly. Appreciate with gratitude every single moment of it.
