Celebrate Important Events With Your Family and Friends!


"Celebrate the little things in life, appreciate tomorrow, love your neighbour or don’t, but never condemn yourself to a life without cause to celebrate and be thankful for what you have. Never forget the people you love and love them when you have an occasion to do so. Celebrate their life and celebrate yours." Anonymous

People celebrate on the occasion of some important events with their family members and they also invite their friends and neighbours to join them. It is a great way to share the joy and happiness with others when there is a celebration. In India there are so many festivals and you can guess there are many celebrations among all walks of life. People celebrate because they know that they don't have to be in griefs all the time. Forgetting all adversity and loss, people must celebrate in order to lift their souls up. This way they can easily enlighten their heavy hearts.

There are many reasons why people should celebrate and how they should share their joys with others. When we include others especially our family members, friends and neighbours there is bound to be a great chance of bonding together.

Celebration gives birth to friendship.
When we invite others to participate in our joys and success, there is a great opportunity of creating strong friendship among the participants. In my opinion, celebration is important to make new friends and establish new relationship. Celebration is a platform to know others and be one with them. So look forward to participate in any kind of celebration whenever you are invited to join any occasion. In celebration we form a friendship which considers one another as significant and valuable. There is appreciation, love, thoughtfulness and a great deal of encouragement and support. So don't miss out any celebration when you get an opportunity to take part. You will be inspired and motivated to live your life happily and cheerfully forgetting your sorrows and sickness.

Celebration establishes connection and communication.
When there is any celebration in a family, it tends to connect people with each other and a new window of communication opens. Those who don't know others they become acquainted with others. This way the connection gets established and communication channels are open 24/7. Building a network of friends and well-wishers are necessary because we are all connected and interdependent. That means without much connection and communication our life on earth could be a boring one. So spend time to connect with others in times of celebration.

Celebration builds and promotes harmony, brotherhood and sisterhood.
Celebration is a big topic here to write about however, in general, I want to say that any celebration has power in it. It builds and promotes harmony, brotherhood and sisterhood among people. Living together in harmony is essence of our existence on this earth. So celebrate as much as you can and include others if you are able to invite them. Yesterday was my wife's birthday and I invited all her family members and close friends for a dinner party. The idea was to build and promote friendship, togetherness, connection and harmony. It was a small party but there was a great feeling of love, joy, appreciation, contentment, friendship and a sense of belongingness.

Finally celebrate life, celebrate victory, celebrate birthday, celebrate anniversary and celebrate all occasions so that you create a better world which includes everyone as one family. As long as we live on this earth we all belong to one family, one society, one nation and one world. Yes, we may cook in a different kitchen or stay in a different house or different country but we all are interdependent and connected. We are no way aloof from the others. We are all bonded and joined together with unseen threads.

The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.Oprah Winfrey
