Of all the seven deadly sins, gluttony is my favorite. We have no excuse to abuse our bodies with regular exorbitant consumption of any kind – but minor infractions cannot hurt every once in awhile. To celebrate, I do not mind eating five meals in a day or downing a hefty dose of alcohol. Mark the occasion as you please. You should not do it every night and you should not do it to pass time. But feel free to do it to bookmark a moment in your life as memorable. Gluttony all the time is not memorable. Gluttony on a rare occasion sticks with you for life. Make it count.

Make It Memorable
Special moment? Do anything you can to preserve it. Take a picture, scribble a note or steal a memento. Mark the occasion with celebration. Indulge in vice or break your own rules if you have to. Whatever it takes to help you hold onto the moment forever. Do not count on memory; it may fail you later. More likely than not, your recollection of the event will lapse from relevancy. Even the slightest trinket or scribble can help it all come back when you least expect it. Life is made up of poignant moments. It is important to revisit, track and learn from them. Nostalgia helps you recontextualize the things that are most important in life. If you collect anything, collect memories.
Celebration
Accomplishments are not imprinted to your memory as well without celebration. Hard work must be acknowledged and rewarded. Make a party out of it. Consummate the success. Make a big deal. You deserve it.
Want to remember the glory forever? Treat yourself to a night you’ll never forget.
Celebrate
Every chance you get, no excuses. Party up, party down or treat yourself to something nice. Life is good, and every breath is reason to celebrate. Celebrate with friends, a nice dinner, rewards, or a big smile. Never miss a chance to appreciate the qualities of your life.
Trust me: it’s worth the investment.
