Why do we set the bar so high for others to celebrate us on our birthdays and so low for celebrating ourselves? Why can’t we believe that we deserve to be celebrated the other 364 days of the year? How can we expect others to celebrate us if we don’t celebrate ourselves- every day. This short story will help reframe situations where we are attached to an outcome and remind us that life is truly what we make it.

“The Here and Now”
That’s what I always tell my son. I love living in the moment. I think this thought is very expansive. Be aware with a smile. Look around soak it in. Do you realize how many moments you can have throughout the course of your life? it makes me happy and I keep smiling.

Life is what we make it
This was perfect. I often get caught up in what I expect things to be, that I miss the amazing things that are happening

The Score Keeper
On our birthday, we have this expectation of how our day should be celebrated. In our minds we start keeping score, looking for that external validation of how people honor our special day. I know I have been the score keeper not only on my birthday but throughout the year looking for that constant validation for years. It is because I grew up with the constant message “I am not good enough.” I have worked hard over the last few years to rewire that old belief. It no longer serves me. This year I have noticed a shift in no longer needing or seeking that constant validation. I realise the only validation I need is my own. I celebrate that everyday. 🥳

Feeling like I almost fell asleep, too bad the story was so short. But, I appreciated the message received.
