Your birthday is such an important day to you for so many reasons, the first day you come to life, the first cry for you on earth, the first breeze of Air, the first time you are held in your parents arms, the first time people want to calm you and sooth You.
Time flies, You grow up ,Iit is your first year. Now you can walk, everyone around you appreciates that you can finally walk, the following year you can walk and talk very well, the following year you go to pre-school, then you go to school and Hey You are 35 Years old Now! What a Drag! Haha, 50 is the new 30 and 60 is the new 40, so wherever you are , don't worry and enjoy it while it lasts :)
Your birthday comes every year with more prosperity, with more dreams getting realised , more progress in life with an impressive support of your family and your enlarged circle of friends. And as the days go by and you grow up, the maturity start to gradually sneak in with a touch of reality. The Birthday is not just a milestone of Prosperity and Growth, it becomes a milestone of resilience and survival! You Made it one Year more! It is not as easy as when you were a kid my friend, it is not chocolate and flowers anymore, it becomes a survival game in the jungle, a jungle that you didn't choose but where you have managed to survive so far as you are Celebrating your birthday:)
Yes , there are varying degrees of success that you might have enjoyed in your life, you might be very successful or a real mediocre, it doesn't matter actually as long as you have given it your best and as you have slept satisfied doing what you could possibly do.
I remember a quote by George Harrison of the Beatles "The Beatles had Everything that anyone would want, Fame,Fortune, Youth and their songs became Instant Mantras in the world, THEN WHAT? George Harrison who was 28 at the time said it, you have it all, Then What?
You , me and everyone else would never be like the Beatles at their fame, the Youth , Power and Everything What Else would you look for? The question probed into the "Meaning of Life". You can have everything in Life but it is not about the "Having", it is about finding a "Meaning" for your life, on your Birthday , You have to get back to the "Meaning of Your Existence", "Ta Raison D'Être".
It might be "Love", it might be "You Children", it might be your "Career", if might be your "Education", it might your "Country's Prosperity", "Growing your Business"it might be "learning Chinese"!
One last thing that you have to remember on your special day is to thank all who have contributed to your life, whether with a direct impact or a long term one, connect with your god, family, your friends and your loved ones. Without your existence support and trust, life would have been tasteless .
Just go and find your Meaning ,it is not an easy journey but on this special day where you have first seen the lights of life, relax, think Clearly and Enjoy the gift of your Life !
Happy Birthday!
