Celebrate what? Festivals? Why not!

Celebrate what? Success? Why not!

Celebrate what? A Good News? Why not!

Celebrate what? A Failure? 😮

Are you out of your mind? What are you talking about?

Let me think…

Is a failure acceptable? Is it fair to fail? I feel terrible when I fail… How can I celebrate a failure?

Why not?

Accept everything with open arms

Appreciate everything with an open heart!

Go beyond your regrets

Go beyond love and hate

It’s okay to succeed, it’s okay fail,

Life isn’t a pressure cooker

Life isn’t a cake batter

Let life happen life’s way!

Celebrate to be a human

Celebrate to be on earth

What’s wrong with a failure?

What’s wrong with a bad luck?

Why can’t we celebrate whatever comes our way?

A great philosopher, John Dewey says experience is the basis of education. If an experience is leading to a new experience, it’s an educative experience.

We learn something new all the time. We experience something throughout our life. Every experience count in the person’s growth.

I want to celebrate every little joy, little moments of fun, pleasure, love, happiness, joy, irritation, anger, fights, sorrow…

I want to celebrate whatever universe has to offer to me!

Big events are important as they might decide/ change course of one’s life but can you count how many big moments happen in life? Very few right?

But small moments keep happening. Let’s celebrate every small thing life.

If those small moments of happiness are celebrated, tell me how much happiness would you gather in life?

Amazing!

Happiness and sadness are two sides on the coin. If one is acceptable, why not the other? Why can’t we look at sad part of the story as an experience or a learning.

You can only grow when you accept sadness, heartbreaks, setbacks.. Person who has never tasted a failure, can you imagine how the person will be?

Adamant, Arrogant, Less approachable, High on ego isn’t it?

Experiences tones you down. They ingrain acceptance, adjustments in you so that you can be little more human and not a rock.

So now, can we celebrate Failure … no… an experience now?
