Today is my Birthday🎈 and I'm gifting you with a positive reminder
It's official! 19 years ago I was put on this earth and that's why I should celebrate right?
I mean that is right but I think there is more to it.. This Birthday was different from the previous years. After a morning meditating and thinking about the celebration of one's Birthday I decided to not make this one mainly about having fun partying with my friends, gifts and cake (and I love cake), but much more importantly take my mother and grandmother out for lunch/ice-cream/coffee to celebrate them for giving birth, celebrate my win for beating over 200 Million sperm with the two women I share my love with and of course give thanks to higher powers.
I know how easy it is to get caught up in the daily life, struggles, sad feelings, bad feelings and things like that and that is ok (it's what makes us human) but we should come to realization that most if not all problems are worse in your mind than they are in reality (if you aren't starving, have somewhere to sleep, basically when you are alive). Our mind makes negative thoughts automatically the center of attention and pushes your blessings further out. It's your responsibility for the sake of your own happiness to press the pause button when thoughts enter, take action and rearrange the thoughts in your mind, to keep a healthy balance. This also counts for positive attributes, such as strong work-ethic, ambition, determination, willpower etc. this is important for people who just like me have goals for their future and tend to make it their obsession and center of attention. This is all perfectly fine as long as you besides knowing the purpose you at the end of the day, or best, at the end of each day find your balance, accept and be proud of where you are at the moment, thankful to be alive, for all experiences and count your blessings. Here are some of mine:

I know these things aren't new nor tips I or anyone else invented BUT they are facts that we sometimes forget and it's nice to be reminded of them. I had the best Birthday, put aside everything negative and felt happy in the moment, there is nothing better.
I hope you are feeling happy right now. I'm going to bed now, have a good night and feel loved😊
