Birthday Reflection For The Past Year.

Today in History: September 25th.

• 1789: In America the first congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification. The first ten became the Bill of Rights.

• 1926: Henry Ford announced the 8 hour, 5-day work week

• 1975: Lifestyle designer, Gordie Rogers was born.

A birthday can be a great day to do two things: reflect and celebrate.

Reflect.

On your birthday, try to give yourself an hour earlier in the day to just be quiet and reflect on how you’ve lived your life over the past year. Think about such things as relationships, health, wealth, career, etc. Have you made progress in these and other areas or have you remained stagnant or even gone backwards in one of them? Be honest with yourself.

Make a written list of what you have failed to do or need improving on. This can be a great source for setting some new goals or refining current goals.

Don’t just dwell on the negative.

Make a list of what you have achieved or at least improved on in the past year. Write down any improvements you’ve made no matter how small it is. Note any business, financial or career successes. Take some joy from those.

Don’t forget your personal life. Have you been getting on better with your spouse? How is your relationship with your children? Made any new friends this year? How’s your health, better or worse? Did you manage to have an enjoyable trip anywhere? See whether you can improve on these areas over the next year.

It’s always good to be grateful that you’ve had another year on life in this world. Life can be such a precious gift. Remember there are plenty of people in the world who are much worse off than you and lack the opportunities that you have. Perhaps you can think of ways how to make someone else’s life better over the next year..

Celebrate.

Spend time with family and friends. Go out for dinner or a picnic; have a party, get a little drunk and hug and kiss someone or several people you really like with the excuse that you’re drunk. Real friends won’t care and you’ll soon discover who’s anal retentive.

Just have fun and do something you really want to do. Be happy and share that happiness with those around you. Be human. Your birthday celebration shouldn’t be a solemn occasion, but a joyous occasion. Don’t think, that it’s one less year I have left on this Earth. Rather think that it has been one more year you’ve been blessed with to enjoy here.
