| Celebrating with my family |
In truth, I was thinking of myself more and placing the ME just as important as other people.
“Celebration” has taken on a new meaning!
I found out that when I dare to celebrate, it is directly related to how generous I am to myself to reward myself for the good work I’ve been doing. It is a silent way to affirm and congratulate myself through a shower of gifts that I give myself; be it a dinner, an outing, a show, a gift or anything that will make me feel good about myself.
Behind all these external show, beneath it lies my self esteem as to whether it should be taken care of. Do i dare say that I’m just as important to be treated just as what i would do for someone else?

I am glad i got myself to a new level of thinking for until recently, this new meaning of ‘celebration’ was totally unheard of. I was too grounded in a past of ‘having to work hard to survive’, that made me felt that I wasn’t ‘eligible’ to enjoy myself or spoil myself for good work done. Then, it was really all about others rather than me.
This new meaning has now freed me more from just ‘sweating and toiling’ to ‘smelling the flowers more” that are laid all along my life pathway to be savored and enjoyed.
Indeed, this Chinese New Year celebration was worth remembering more than others in the past. And I commit myself to have more celebrations from now onwards. Life is indeed to be enjoyed!
Kudos to the ‘enlightened’ Michael!
What is your view about self celebration?
