		<description>Tom, I really find that celebration is a new one for me and I am interested which is good because I am in the momentum gratitude phase so I am excited to enter this next.. before completion ;)
yay!

Look where celebration falls – right after gratitude and just before completion. That’s an extremely powerful stage of the cycle that should not be overlooked.

sadly, I did overlook this before. I had to emotionally survive when I was preparing to celebrate.. and so with such an unplanned shift I was instantly suppressed /so it makes sense how now it is coming full-circle and I am being given that chance again... and to share it with the world ;)

I am learning to live wholeheartedly again and speak openly from that same wound which once paralyzed me. I love this line you shared:
1.	Celebration helps us stay in the present where our power is. 
it makes me feel so strong to repeat this as an affirmation 

thank you,
Jenn

		<description>Kenneth you make a fine point. There is nothing self-centered about being all that you are and letting others know about it.

Evelyn - strut on! That&#039;s a wonderful picture and mantra.

Fawn I love the Tolle point. Celebration is recognizing the goodness within us and rejoicing because of it.</description>

		<description>Tom,

I loved this because, Tom, you know that this is my weak spot.  My mantra is &quot;How&quot;?  How do i do it?  This is my strength with my clients but my own Achilles heal.
A line in Robert Frost&#039;s poem &quot;Mending Wall&quot; reads: &quot;something there is that doesn&#039;t love a wall.&quot; That line came to mind but a bit changed:  &quot;something there is that doesn&#039;t love the self.&quot;

It seems that celebrating is about self-love, which is foundational to good relationships which are vital to successful personal and business life and that  &#039;self-loving&#039; looks like gets confused with ego-serving but it&#039;s not, it is a necessary component for delightful life..and work (smiling).

Here&#039;s another quote that I find amazing:

&quot;goodness can&#039;t be accomplished by TRYING to be good, but by enjoying the goodness that is already within you&quot;  (author unknown, I think it&#039;s Eckart Tolle)


 OK, so how does everyone &#039;celebrate&#039; themselves and their goodness?  Here&#039;s my post about 13 ways to Celebrate More Often.   I could only come up with 8 -- can anyone help me out?
