A great moment for many of us is to hear a chorus of 'Happy Birthday To You' being sung with gusto and joy on our Birthday. It has now become traditional for close friends and relatives to celebrate Birthdays by gathering around to sing that simple but heartfelt Birthday song.
Regardless of what age we have reached, the little child within us all still welcomes that recognition of our Birthday by loved ones. For those amongst us, who have spent a few more years on this Earth than we would like to advertise, our birthday also offers a moment to reflect on our past life and future aspirations.
The wonderful reality of hearing 'Happy Birthday To You' being sung yet again reminds us that we are still alive and kicking. Each Birthday gives us an opportunity to reshape ourselves and our ambitions with new vigour and understanding of what we truly want from life. Life experience is a valuable tool and each Birthday celebrated is yet another chapter of wisdom we have hopefully added to our book of life.
Our Birthdays should not be the counter of ageing but in fact an opportunity to treat each year as a new life, blessed with greater understanding and knowledge.
In our baby years, we learnt how to walk, talk, play and communicate. For many of us the teenage years were often reckless and difficult times as we tried to forge our own independence. The early adult years often brought us back to the fold of society as we took on responsibility with marriage, parenting, house ownership and making a living. It is often during this time that we put aside some of our own personal younger age ambitions and desires.
Make your next Birthday a true BIRTH DAY of your new life and pursue your inner forgotten desires. Re-invent yourself and live life to the fullest for the next 365 days of your life. Always remember that we are the sole creators of our own destiny and by making the right choices we can turn our lives into whatever we desire. If we learn to treat each Birth Year as a new lifetime, we are not anchored to our past perceived failures or inadequacies for we are newly born.
WE ARE WHO WE WANT TO BE!
Write down what you wish to accomplish in this new life and also the changes you need to make within yourself to fulfil your dreams. Make a plan to pursue your desires, baby step by baby step and before long you will see your life changing around you and your joy for life increasing.
When your next Birthday arrives, you will be able to reflect on your accomplishments and then plan an even bigger and better coming year.
Remember regardless of what age you are, each Birthday celebrated is the opportunity to create a new life of greater happiness and success. Our Birthdays are a reminder to discover our own very special gifts and talents that are alive within us all.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
