14 February: just another day, make it special

Dates like February 14 have different meanings to each one of us. Life happens: some are dying today, fabulous Aquarians are being born, some are making love while others break up. Just another day on planet Earth that has been given a connotation related to LOVE and gifts. Flowers, chocolates and romantic getaways are in high offer and demand these days. Good for the businesses and for those who decide to reward themselves today.

Unfortunately, those who do not comply with the requirements imposed by the Love and Gifts label on "Valentine's Day" are reminded of what is missing in their lives. A quick check on the hashtag #ValentinesDay will show how many people dislike and even hate this date. If you are one of them, this is a reminder that you have a choice. Do not let despair get to you. If you are in the group of people "at risk" of feeling left out, purposely make the day special to yourself.

Celebrate the LOVE in your life, focusing on what you do have instead of what is lacking. Life loves you if you are healthy, strong, well fed, dressed, sheltered, in good company, engaged in a fulfilling job. You will not have it all at one particular point in time but you can make the most of what you have today. If you have a life partner, CELEBRATE. Do it your own way and enjoy the company.

If you are single, celebrate YOU. Self-love is the first step towards attracting what is best for your life. Whatever your status today, happy 14th of February.
