It's Time to Celebrate Your Life

When your child hugs you with all the love in the world, appreciate that it is one of your most beautiful days!

When you go to sleep the moment your head hit your pillows,
Know that you are being blessed by the God!
When you are asked for forgiveness by someone,
Understand that you are being honored by the angels!

When you are over-burdened at work, feel happy,
There are people who can kill themselves to get your job!
When you are living in a rented place, nothing is lost,
There are people who are living in the nasty streets!
When you are driving an old fashioned car, just drive on,
There are people who haven't gone near a car in their whole lives!

When you get up late in the morning and curse yourself,
Remember that there are people who have never woken up that morning!
When you narrate your worst nightmare to someone,
Feel grateful that you have outlived your misfortune!

When you get hurt by your parents' words, remember that
They only mean good for you!
When you squabble with your wife, do make up with her,
People die more out of loneliness than out of poverty in the world!
When you feel hurt, upset with and are irritated by mean people,
Just throw them out of your life! You deserve better friends!

When your normal life gets disrupted due to some illness and discomforts,
Be glad that you could spend some time with yourself!
When things really get out of your control and when you feel depressed,
Look at the worried and the caring faces that stay close to you.
Others may not be as blessed as you are!

When the warm fire glows in your home in the rain and in the snow
When your home feels cool and nice in the worst of the summer days
When there is someone waiting for you to get home every single night
With water and food kept ready on the table,
Realize that it is time to celebrate your life as you had never celebrated before!
