Abstract
By celebrating I don’t mean sitting back and letting the world go by. As awareness exists only in order to go beyond it, so celebrating yourself means celebrating yourself and celebrating the other person. How, you may ask, does this relate to managing yourself?
He who is able to celebrate life can prevent the temptation to search for clean joy or clean sorrow. Life is not wrapped in cellophane and protected against all infections.
(Nouwen, 1978)
