Today is a special day!

                      

                                

Most people believe that some days are special because of what happened on that day. The common one may be their birthday…most people celebrate their birthday and they consider it special. Others may as well celebrate their birthdays even after they passed away if they were highly prominent in their community. 

Many religious leaders and preachers have won the feelings of their followers. As a result, their followers worship them, build churches in their names, and celebrate their birthdays monthly and/or annually. Their followers consider them as “saints”.

Many prominent social and political leaders have also won the respect of their societies and hence their birthdays are either remembered or colorfully celebrated. It is common to hear heroic stories from all over the world. The media reports special events with the heading “This day in history.” Or something related to that. 

Some societies, countries or continents celebrate their independence days… especially in Africa. They presume such days as unique, on which the whole nation shall rejuvenate. Victory songs resonate across a nation. The birthdays of freedom fighters are remembered or celebrated and media organizations repeat their names and deeds.

Well, it is good to celebrate special days. But today is more special; because, you, the special one is here standing taller, walking up right with dignity and swinging with lighter footsteps than ever. You are here feeling what it really means to be alive… how precious life is when you think over it in a very relaxed manner. You are fully enjoying life minute by minute and second by second inhaling and exhaling a priceless air deeply. 

Today is special not because of the events that have happened in the past. No! The past has already gone… it is nothing more than a mere story. You can neither be proud nor feel sorry for it… there is nothing worthy of worrying over a spilled milk. Today is special only because of you. It does not matter what happened in the past or what will happen next. Let the past and the future worry for what happened or will happen.

Feel the triumph; celebrate the trophy of being beyond mere existence. The world is alive because you…the special one is alive here right now. Congratulations!
