Celebrate Every Single Day

We often live for the future. And sometime we spend time thinking about the past. But how often do you find yourself living within the present? Reflect on your own life (visions of the past spring to mind) and consider if you have been and are living your life in the present and enjoying each passing moment.

The world is made up of many different characters with different viewpoints, perspectives and outlooks. And some I struggle to understand. I hear people around me pass comments such as "I don't want a fuss for my birthday" or "let's not bother with presents anymore", " Chrismas is off this year", "Holidays are a waste of money".

Now, it's true that our lives can become one long whirl of never-ending events. Birthdays, Anniversaries and Cultural Celebrations fill up the annual calendar and before we know it, the year has passed us by and we begin the same circuit all over again. It can get tiresome and sometimes seem pointless.

But stop for a minute and think about what you are doing here on this earth. I can guess your answer, because we're all in the same situation. We don't really know! However, what we do know is that one day it will end. So, I fail to understand why such people are not willing to make the very most of their lives. None of us know how much time we have left.

Every single day should be a celebration. I'm sure if you think about it, you can find something each and everyday that you can be happy about. Something to get excited about. And if you can't, then find something. I get excited everyday about my first cup of tea of the day. And that's just to start, but it's an example. I look forward to drinking my tea and I am grateful whilst drinking my tea. I live happily in my moment of tea drinking. What do you enjoy?

Every action you take is your choice and you don't have to enjoy the journey if you don't want to. It's your life! But what do you achieve out of not bothering? How fulfilled do you feel now and how fulfilled will you feel when you're knocking on heaven's door?

If today were your last day on this earth, would you have any regrets? Are there places you want to go? Goals you want to achieve? Have you been procrastinating?

We don't know if any of us are coming back to this earthship, so let's not waste our opportunity to make the most of our time here. Go everywhere, do everything, make it affordable, stop procrastinating, be present in every moment and celebrate every single day!
