“At the end of life, our questions are very simple: Did I live fully? Did I love well?” ~ Jack Kornfield

Happy March, my favorite month of the year, because my birthday is in eleven days. Which means that the entire month is a giant celebration. It is no secret that birthday celebrations leave a fantastic feeling flooding through our bones and for most of us it becomes the most memorable day of each year. The secret sauce in birthdays is pure enchantment because the world toasts to you! Love, respect, and hugs are given freely and you are the center of all the existential goodness. But what about the rest of the lonely, bored 364 days of the years? Excluding holidays, most other days we go about life just making it through. We fall into comfort zones and ripple into boredom. There is a solution to this pouting problem: Make every day your birthday. Why because:

1. It’s a celebration of life.
2. We make wishes and dream big.
3. Anything is possible.
4. We take time to play.
5. Family and friends go out of their way to make us feel loved.
6. Food is consumed guilt free.
7. We are more generous with others and ourselves.
8. We spend quality time with loved ones.
9. We sport perma grins the entire day.
10. We appreciate every moment.

After reading through this list, who wouldn’t want every day to be their birthday? Whether it’s your own or the birthday of someone you care about, the party doesn’t need to stop on the actual day of birth. That is the charm of celebrating our awesome life. We can take the same secret sauce of birthdays and apply it to every day of the year. Imagine if you gave a gift to a best friend for no reason, how they would respond. What if you ate chocolate cake for breakfast and left the guilt back in time? It sounds pretty fantastic doesn’t it? Join me for the month of march as we make everyday our birthday. Last year I made a vlog on this idea. Watch it here.
