“The more you praise and celebrate life, the more there is in life to celebrate” – Oprah Winfrey.
Your life, is finally your life – not your parents, not your spouses, not your kids’ but YOUR life. You have to take the reins of your life in your hand and decide how you want to live your life – make it meaningful, significant or live like a machine. Simply Celebrate Life.
Create moments in your life, celebrate those moments. Write about your moments so that they last long and you can go through them and have a broad smile on your face when you are older.
It doesn’t matter in which stage of life you are – you can be in your twenties, in your thirties or in mid-life – living a wholesome life is a matter of your decision – you can decide to love it and make it fruitful or decide to detest it or just survive it.
At some point during my post grads I thought – if I survive these two years I’ll have a better job and my life will be set. During my working years I thought if I survive a few years I’ll have a better position, better pay etc etc. But I also did one thing – I didn’t let my hobbies/ talents die out in the run of surviving life. I managed to keep writing – on the blog, in the journal. I gave importance to the new found interests of baking. I still doodle at times. Did I celebrate life? I at least kept myself alive and not become a machine.
“The best way to prepare for life is to begin to live.” – Elbert Hubbard
Today having quit my career I am bringing back those hobbies into work. I write and design professionally now and the best part is I am working for myself! Life itself is a celebration. The kind of person I am I am never content with one thing. I always feel the best is yet to come. Till I have that light in my heart I know I can do greater stuffs – in my own way. Am I celebrating life now – of course.
You know the key to peace within yourself now – Celebrate Life.

I love the idea of celebrating life – it’s so easy to be stuck in a job that sucks the joy out of your life. It’s our responsibility to find something we can enjoy and fill as much of time with that as possible. So glad you found a life to celebrate.

Thanks Leanne for dropping by.
Agree with this thought completely. No matter what’s going on in our life, there always are enough reasons to celebrate. In fact we must make it a point to celebrate life in some way, however small, every day.
Yes, it starts with ourselves – value and celebrate our life. Thanks SHilpa
Beautiful post Tina.

True Sheetal. Thanks for dropping by
If you don’t celebrate your life and tiny tot moments who will. Beautiful post!
Thanks SHeetal
It’s important to celebrate life in the present than wait for the ‘when this…’ because some of those moments may never come. Great post Tina! 🙂
Thank you Sanch. Yes the moments might not come again.
Yet again I find myself nodding my head with your post, Tina. Life is a gift and it should be celebrated! I love how you’ve elaborated beautifully in that very important thought!
Thankyou M. Yes no point in waiting for a better future and losing the present.
We definitely need to celebrate life.Glad you are inspiring us Tina
But what do you do, if you want someone to be a part of those moments and they refuse to be one? Thinking of a way out here!
Cheers
Yes life is of no use if not celebrated or living others lives. Beautifully penned, covering all aspects
Thanks for sharing
Care for!! What to expect during the First trimester of Pregnancy Part 2
When we keep adding ‘ifs’ in our life we forget to live in the present. Writing memories often bring smile later
true, everyday is a day to be joyous and celebrate!
Your post really struck a chord with me! Yes we need to celebrate life- our own life and do something that we like despite all the other things that we are supposed to do.
I love that photograph of the girl in shorts kicking up the spray. It really does celebrate life – something we must always remember to do.
Oh Yes! Life is to celebrate and explore. It is more than just working s=day and night but it is about having fun along the way. 🙂
Agree with this completely! What’s life without celebrating the beautiful moments in it!
P.S: Loved the graphic!
Like they say – One life to live, we should make the most of it. When I had the twins life came to a standstill. However within a year or two I was struggling to get back on my feet and do my own thing. And I’m glad I did.
That is a great success story 💕 it’s within us we just need to dare
Lovely post Tina. It’s sad that we have made ourselves too busy to enjoy the one thing that matters the most – our own life.
Loved the idea if writing down the moments so you can look back and re-live whenever you want.
Thanks Manisha, it helps in the long run
The more I read I find a piece of you in every post.
Agree with you Tina and ever since ive started to blog seriously I have started to enjoy living that various facets of my life better 🙂
Happiness lies in journey not destination. It’s good that you aren’t content and always move a step forward in the hope of best. Liked the Osho’s quote.
