Birthdays are for Celebrating

This is the start of a very special journey. I will be the big FOUR-OH in exactly forty days and I want to share lessons I’ve learned, in no particular order, with you. No matter how similar your life is to another person, you often learn different lessons. It is my hope that my successes, failures, and everything in between will help you navigate life a little better. 

It seems that as we get older, we become ashamed of making it to the next milestone. We complain about the creaks and the cracks that our bodies make. Gravity has taken a toll and some body parts aren’t in the same location that they started in, but we have life nonetheless. We seem so sad when someone passes away, but yet we don’t seem thankful to make it to another year of life. Why?

Are you willing to try something new? Instead of the obligatory “Happy Birthday” try telling people “Congratulations, you made it through another year”. How does that sound? That is something to be celebrated. Whether we like to admit it or not, life can deal us bad times and there is just something awesome about making it through them and looking forward to better days.

In today’s episode, I talk about how much I love birthdays. I believe everyone should be celebrated. Your presence on earth and in life is important. If you weren’t here, life would be drastically different for everyone you know and for those you don’t. If you take a few moments to consider what you do every day, you will realize you matter.
