Weekly Lesson: Celebrate Survival

This week has been a roller coaster ride, and yet I’ve pushed through it all. People who have been through trials and tribulations deserve the right to be proud of coping and even celebrate one’s survival. I think society does not give enough importance to survival. Rather, they focus on their believed failings and completely miss the fact that they are still alive and breathing – even if a little worse for wear.

The fact of the matter is that life is about survival. No one is perfect. If you reach the end of the day and don’t take the time to celebrate surviving, you won’t be able to gain a more positive outlook.

So, if you can, take some time today to consider what you’ve been through and celebrate that you are still alive (even though you may be battered, weak and exhausted). The important thing is that you made it through.
