As I think back on my life, there’s so many things to be celebrated. You celebrate when you’re young and all of your birthdays are so exciting. Then you’re celebrating your graduations from each grade in school, and then you’re celebrating your businesses and achievements.
Then you’re celebrating your marriage, your babies, your parents and the people that are in your life. Hopefully by the time you’ve reached this chapter in life, you have so many memories that you have celebrated that your whole life becomes a celebration; that might be why they call it your celebration of life. Life is really black and white; we just don't realize it until we get closer to the end.
So, my friends, as I’m writing this, don’t wait for a special occasion. So many people have a bucket list; have a wish list instead and make sure you check it off. Don’t wait to lose weight. Don’t wait till your home is decorated, don’t wait until your children are grown up or for anything else you can add to this list.
Also, don't hold grudges, as you are the only one they hurt. Have something to look forward to every day. Most importantly, don’t wait for life, because life will pass you by. You don’t want to leave any life on the table. I encourage you to look at life and business on the brighter side, because there’s always a lesson behind every celebration and something to be grateful for.
Do what you love and not only will you never work a day in your life, you will have truly celebrated your precious time here and you will have a lot of cherished moments.
