Celebration isn't just nice. It's necessary.

Rituals mark the moments of our lives. Modern life treats them like distractions—nice, but in the way of productivity.

But we are not machines. We are animals. And animals need orientation, not just output.

So when we perform a ritual—a rite of passage, a party, a wedding, a funeral—we’re not just acting out tradition. We’re marking meaning.

These are the openings and closings of chapters. And without them, we drift.

So when something good comes along, don’t just go back to work. Celebrate. A dinner out. A vacation. An ice cream.

Whatever it is, mark the moment. Don’t let it pass without a ritual.

Don’t let time erase your milestones. Let your rituals anchor you—so that when you look back, you remember not just what happened, but what it meant.
