One of the most important thing to remember is to celebrate. Celebrate any and everything, no matter how insignificant or how simple the manner.
To begin with, lets define "Celebration".
It does not have to be an elaborate show of flair and colors and sounds. It can be that or something as simple as a prayer thanking the lord or the universe for granting you with that special something. A simple acknowledgement is all that is needed to warmly hug that little bit of good fortune that you have. It is like loving some one. Little gestures go a long way than overtly sophisticated ones. It is just a way to be thankful for all that we have and all that we have had.
There are times when we say that there is nothing to be happy about. It is a sad thing to happen. But sadder still is that fact that we have let go of all the memories which could still brighten up our day. The reason we don't remember them is that we don't celebrate them enough. We don't recall the good times and relive the joy. We don't call up those old friends and share our reminisces. If we do just that - perhaps we will have so much that we would need to pick and choose which ones we want to celebrate.
Celebrate be thankful of something and it will give back much more. It might sound stupid and a little emotional to think so but there is a practical side to it. When we highlight the good things in and around us we tend to attract more of it. This does not happen due to some cosmic hoopla or magic. It is simply that we tend to focus harder on the things that make us happy and so find more ways of brining more into our lives. If I keep thinking of my friends and how great a time I spent with them, I am bound to find a way to meet them again and be the moving force towards the next meeting. If I am constantly happy about the little weight that I had lost, I am bound to find enough motivation to go out and run some more just for the way it makes me feel.
We can even celebrate the things that we don't have. An idea or a desire to get something can as easily be celebrated. The thought of owning something or loving someone or being loved back can as wonderfully celebrated as the real thing. All this does is focus our energies onto the idea and therefore focus our actions towards it. We think more about it - not yearning for it because we don't have it (That would have an opposite effect) but loving the fact imagining the fun or actually possessing what we desire. Some might say that this is merely positive thinking. It is. But by repeatedly doing so, it gives way for constructive thinking and planning in that positive direction.
So that is Lesson 1: Celebrate all that you have and all that you want to have.
Love the idea as you love a person. Perhaps it will point out a few mistakes you make in loving people as well.
