Ever wondered why do we celebrate holidays every year? Why is it that all religions have some celebration reason? Take Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity or any other religion?
Of course, the word is HOPE. The hope that all of us deserve to be happy, deserve to be cheerful, feel good.
In this grit of life where you face challenges everyday, disappointments, problems and failures... It is a welcoming change to leave everything aside and just be joyful, happy and relaxed.
Its not necessary that you celebrate only the festivals designed by the religions... In fact in the 20th century, another religion emerged, which people failed to recognise as "RELIGION".It is the "WEEKENDS".
You work like a dog throughout the week and then you party like a manic. Celebrate every moment of the weekend. (Of course not all.. remember the hangover moments :D)
Well, coming back to the issue, lets keep that HOPE alive. Lets ensure that we don't forget that this life is also meant to be enjoyed. You have a heart, so enjoy.
In case you are unable to enjoy, just follow these instructions:
- Take a deep breath.
- Isolate yourself from this world, imagine you are at your favorite location.(It could be anywhere)
- Take a deep breath again and feel the air. Feel the joy, visualize all your loved ones smiling and filled with happiness in their eyes.
- Now open your eyes and you are already smiling.
Enjoy the holidays.
