In this short series on The Power of Celebration we have discussed various ways in which we can increase our celebration of life. But what are the benefits of using the six keys that have been described? Well, they are plentiful…
To begin with, celebrating life allows us to detach ourselves from the trivial problems and cares of the world which lead so many others into emotional states of sadness, depression and helplessness. It enables us to live ‘on a higher level of awareness’ and view life from an infinite and eternal point of view.
Celebrating life enables us to ensure that we do not neglect to live today to the full as we work towards the goals and dreams of tomorrow. We know that today is really all we have, so we make the most of it.
When we fully appreciate where we are right now, we can being to appreciate how we got here in the first place. If we have anything to be thankful for in our lives, then we can acknowledge the fact that we attracted these things, situations or people into our lives. This gives us all the faith we need to start deliberately attracting what we want to experience in the future.
Finally, when we make a point of celebrating life every day, a hint of what we commonly refer to as ‘the Christmas spirit’ becomes a part of our regular daily experience. No longer are joy and happiness things that are kept under lock and key until December 25, but they become habitual feelings which we experience day after day regardless of the time of year.
This Christmas, be sure to have a wonderful time. Enjoy the good food, the festive drink and the traditional music by all means, but also take time to make this Christmas a time of special spiritual development and awareness which will benefit you for the rest of your days. Appreciate what you have and the people you know and love. Give of yourself to the people around you. But most of all live every moment of your life to the full.
Merry Christmas!
