"The more you celebrate life, the more there is in life to celebrate."
And today, you celebrate.
Dance in the rain and sing in the shower. Skip stones and chase squirrels.
Play hopscotch on the pavement. Turn somersaults on the bed.
Get flowers. For yourself. For your best friend. For the girl in the flat above yours.
Smile at a stranger on the road. Say thank you to the cab driver.
Laugh at yourself. Never repeat mistakes. There are too many new ones to be made anyway.
Treat yourself to the double sundae that your diet does not allow. Buy the candy you haven’t had since 6th grade. Try out the new Korean food shack at the street corner five blocks away.
The guy at work you find cute? Tell him. The weekend holiday you wanted to take? Get the tickets.
Feed the pigeons in the park. Adopt a stray.
Dream. Don't just smile, grin. Ear to ear. Fall in love all over again.
Remember you can die a thousand times, but you live only once. And for one day, live to the fullest. One day, when you are not scared to make a fool of yourself, because no matter what other’s say, you are having fun. One day, where you keep aside the darkness and the hurt and pain and simply be happy.
You can go back to "normal" tomorrow. Or perhaps never again.
Let it be today. Today, that you celebrate yourself.
Celebrate that you are a limited-edition, one and only version of you. Celebrate that you are alive.
In this celebration called life, join in. Today.
A few quotes I read in one of the osho books:
ReplyDeleteAs your silence grows; your friendliness, your love grows; your life becomes a moment-to-moment dance, a joy, a celebration.
But my Favorite:
Life should be a continuous celebration, a festival of lights the whole year round. Only then you can grow up, you can blossom. Transform small things into celebration.
