The Value of Holidays

Celebrating a Holiday is a Choice

This week we take a pause from our regularly scheduled content to insert a special post about Easter.

Kerry A. Clark & Co is dedicated to helping others (that’s you) make your life your business.  Not only do we believe that you should take ideas and concepts from the business world to make your life what you desire, but also want you to know what you do with your life is no one else’s business. Your life is your business and it’s your business.

It can go without saying, but it’s no secret that I’m a Christian.  This means as a part of our family plan, we celebrate Christian holidays like Easter and Good Friday.  In fact, these days are huge if you are a Christian. The point is…we settled on celebrating Easter as one of our family holidays.

Whether in alignment or not
The places we work have a set number of holidays it observes. The company has set and established which holidays the employees get to have pay-time-off (PTO).  But what happens when your company celebrates a holiday that you don’t? You get a day off anyway. It makes it worthwhile when your celebrated holidays and the company’s holidays are in alignment.

You get to choose
I once argued with a friend of mine whether I had to come to work or not.  He said I didn’t while I said I did. His point was I choose to come to work.  He made me realize that we have choices in life and you must never forget that.  Choices are the ground-floor to being free. There is no freedom without choices.

For this message, you get to choose which holidays you and your family observe.  Write it down, make them visible and talk about them. You should have holidays you decide to celebrate, not just the holiday a company levies as a benefit to employees. In deciding, never let others degrade what you do celebrate.

Celebrating is good and a lost art.
The more days you can make special, the more excitement you bring to your life.  It’s like having a vacation every 3 months. You look forward to the days you’re going to be off.  So many days out, you begin to count down. Holidays should be the same. You should set plans and goals for your holiday celebrations.  Even if you don’t have paid-time-off, there’s no reason you still shouldn’t make the day, weekend or week special. Learn to take charge of even your holidays.  It’s your life, your family and it’s your business.

Today is Friday!
This week we celebrate the greatest Christian holiday ever and not everyone will celebrate it. That’s okay, but celebrating is a personal choice. You set the course for your life, your family, your home because it’s your business.
