Birthday Celebrations are one among the important events that people celebrate from growing up until they take their final breathes…,this celebrations means more than anyone could ever think of, meaning every individual person celebrating their important day has something to be thankful for, be it small or big we are thankful…,but not all get this chance to be thankful just because in today’s world birthdays have taken a different step, you now people will celebrate their day for a whole week, have getaway birthdays, spend with their loved ones, go out for shopping and partying extra extra, and thus majority feel intimidated if they don’t get to do all this on there “big celebration”, and feel ungrateful and sad.
Growing up I have always enjoyed celebrating my birthday and I would get mad if I don’t get a cake or even a birthday wish from my loved one, but as each year passed and stepped into a new age I have learnt to be grateful even for the little I get because the fact that I’m alive healthy and breathing it’s something that I have to be grateful for.., I’m 25 years old now but best believe if you would have met me 3 years back and asked how I wanted to celebrate turning 25 you would be amazed by the answer, I would probably say I want to go out to a fancy restaurant have dinner with friends and family, or go out for the weekend and have fun something’s like that.., but truth be told that’s not how is celebrated my day,. I mean turning 25 that’s a quarter of a century it’s a big deal trust me it is...but I didn’t instead I took time to reflect where I came from all the challenges and blessings in my 25 years of life and I have never been GRATEFUL for how far the Lord has brought me, I might not have everything I wanted but I’m sure as hell I’m blessed with so many amazing people around me, reading through all the birthday wishes and amazing things that people write brought me a huge smile more than a fancy dinner, although a fancy dinner would’ve probably given me that smile too lol.
So by saying all that, I want you all to know just be grateful with what `you have, be positive and always smile enjoy where you are now and what you have, change your attitude on the way you see things, have a clear vision, mind and heart and trust me your life will be better. And this is what I keep telling most of my friends that get your attitudes straight because ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING. Have a negative attitude and you’ll not be able to be grateful with anything around you even if you do have things to be grateful for and your life will just be miserable all the time but have a positive attitude even if you sleep on one meal each day but as long as you are grateful your life will be amazing and you would be surprised by how far you’ll go.
And by saying all that, I’ll just leave some few quotes said by very influential people in the world and I hope that may change your mind or give you a way that you would look at your life on a different angle;
Nurture your mind with great thoughts -Benjamin Disraeli
A man is what he thinks about everyday -Ralph Waldo
There is nothing on earth you cannot have, once you have mentally accepted the fact you can have it -Robert Collier
