 The Fully Celebrated Life
By Lynn Gerlach and Sheryl Lynn, authors of The Celebrated Woman (2006)
Our focus is on women, and we wrote the book (literally!) on the celebrated woman. However, the principles of celebration apply to men as well as to women. We emphasize the need for women to celebrate, giving advice on how to reach that goal, because a woman’s natural tendency is to celebrate others and forget about self. Regardless of gender, though, the fully celebrated life of woman or man bears certain qualities.,
The celebrated life is positive. Surrounded by negativity, a positive individual moves forward, stepping around the worries and nay-sayers, refusing to engage negative forces while merely acknowledging their existence. The celebrated life is control-neutral. Some things go well; others go awry. It is unnecessary either to comprehend every obstacle or to change it or in any other way control it. A life of celebration is marked by adjustment without stress, adaptation without resentment, and acceptance without the need to control.
A celebrated individual is a sovereign individual, queen or king of whatever piece of earth is called home. That sovereignty comes from perfection, for the fully celebrated person realizes that true perfection is just being perfectly oneself. The celebrated life, then, is a life of self-acceptance and self-love rather than of unfulfilled longings, self-recrimination or self-criticism. A celebrated individual does not require self-perfection but simply acknowledges that, to be truly ME is simply perfect.
Celebrated individuals tend to surround themselves with folks who uplift, inspire and encourage them. They get the support of others because they expect it and know they deserve it. It is easy, then, to celebrate others reciprocally, offering mutual support and wishing the best for every other human being. The celebrated woman or man is able to accept help, receive compliments, and graciously take what others have to offer. They recognize celebration in themselves and others and in all they see and do.
Positive, free from the need to control, sovereign and perfect, with only best wishes for others, the celebrated individual is confident that every answer, every directional sign, every solution, tool or resource necessary for a perfect life lies within Self. The celebrated woman or man recognizes the inner magnificence and personal power required for a life of joy, and so does not seek answers or direction from others. Celebrated individuals are confident that the source of their positivity and strength lies within their own hearts. They feel empowered to chart a course and correct it as necessary, all the while standing in their own power.
