7 May 2011Should anyone need validation? It is not about someone needing to be validated. It is about what the energy of celebration creates and what it means. When we are able to celebrate others, what we are essentially doing is validating the very same thing in ourselves. We are validating our own greatness by recognizing greatness in someone else. You can’t be great if you don’t recognize it when you see it.
For example, if we can celebrate someone’s beauty, creativity, humor, or any gifts and talents, then we are validating the very same thing in ourselves. Remember what you give you shall also receive. If we can celebrate someone else for who they truly are and what they do, then we are opening a pathway to receive the same in our lives. Accordingly, here at Blue Lotus Living, one of our assertions states “It is honorable and good to be admired and celebrated for who we are and what we do.”
So what does it mean to celebrate someone else? Is it simply to compliment them? To celebrate someone else is to rejoice, delight, and bask in someone else’s success. As we take a careful look, we realize that each of these words means “to derive joy from something.” You see, when we are living as our true and authentic self and when we are not allowing ourselves to be weighed down by the fetters of the ego, we truly derive joy from celebrating someone else. It is as natural for us as breathing.
And once again, the operative words here are when we are “living as our true and authentic self.” The ego can’t see that celebrating someone else’s success brings joy in our lives and opens doors through which that same energy of success can flow in our lives. Unfortunately, when one is weighed down by the fetters and illusions of the ego, one believes that celebrating someone is somehow saying he or she is less than and the person being celebrated is more.
Nothing can be further from the truth. By celebrating someone else just for who they are and/or for their success, you are acknowledging that the very same thing is possible in your life. You are literally aligning with that “success energy.”
With this in mind, the next time a friend or even a total stranger is being celebrated for a promotion, a beautiful picture, an achievement among friends, or even winning a board game, celebrate with them and allow that wonderful energy of success to flow in your life. Remember, we can only have what we are willing to give. You are worth celebrating so celebrate someone else.
