That fabulous perfume, those perfectly shiny heels, a face full of makeup with the glamorous lashes, and now think of how we reserve those moments and feelings for “special occasions”. For when we are supposed to feel, well, different. Elevated. Like we matter and today is significant. While certainly life has epic moments, what are those special moments in between reserved for? Should we feel lesser? Mundane? Like we are not on an epic adventure of a lifetime?
The significance of Life is the Occasion is a statement of mind. That we are in the moment, every moment of our lives. When folks ask “it must be your birthday, is that why you are dressed up?” no, I am dressed up because Life is the Occasion! Dressed up being whatever that is to you. Perhaps its that fabulous pair of boots, sexy underwear or curling your hair. This meaning, a woman who is centered on who and what she is and wants. Life is simply too short to be inferior to keep the status quo happy. I am living for me , regardless of what that looks to others.
A mind shift is needed here. We are the CEO’s of our life, our destiny. Simply put, you go after the life you want, or settle for the one you get. Think of some of the most joyous moments of your life. For many that is getting married, having children, or an illustrious career. It can be more simplistic than that. Perhaps that great Saturday on a boat with your loved one. Where the weather was perfect, that picnic you packed fabulous and the champagne that you still speak about days later. Moments that are curated and embedded in your mind for years to come. Who would not love to live in those moments as Life is the Occasion!
