Life in itself is sacred, i mean, the ability to exhibit our consciousness which proves that we are alive. There are many times a lot of people allows their issues, their shortcomings and inabilities to influence their whole story and as a result of this they begin to find no essence to life, they find no need to be thankful in a show of appreciation.
Life in itself requires us to find our diverse unique formula to celebrate it as this is the only way we can approach our struggles against things like poverty, racism, bad governance, oppression, inferiority and things like body shaming that's rampant in the society.

Realistically, life is worth celebrating and this is because we still have the ability to change unfavourable times to favourable situations, our ability to trust in the hardwork and trust in the inevitability of change to happen the way we envisaged it is important in how we tend to keep struggling till we achieve our aim in life.
As for me I choose to celebrate life by taking time off to appreciate the sacredness of my existence somehow, it's state of divinity helps me enact my struggles, nowadays this is somewhat of a natural medicine to me, in a world where there's no cure for unnatural pain sometimes it's down to us to chose to heal or be exposed to the chances of being fragile to harsh conditions.
Another way I have come to celebrate is to revel in my accomplishments*; there are times where basking in one's achievements helps to to celebrate life. Truth is life is all about memories Irrespective of how it turns out and these memories are what will live forever and not us. In reality, achievements are not all about materialism.
Sometimes having a warm family and being able to help people find the essence of true living is an achievement. There are times we guide people to taking the better steps in life or helping them to make decisions which would change their lives. Now the success of people towards making this a possibility is an achievement and when we begin to bask in the joy of having them succeed, then this is also reveling in one's accomplishments, we celebrate life by seeing the good things we've come to do.

Another way I tend to celebrate life is to take time off to allow the world exist without me. What do I essentially mean by this?, Sometimes we need to demistify our journey, separate ourselves from the hustles and bustles and find time to watch from a distant view.
In reality, holidays are essential to us because inasmuch as it helps us to be stronger and better, it helps us to celebrate the little we have be able to attain, the heights we have been able to climb and the things we have come do build with time. Allowing the world to exist without us simply means taking a break, choosing to give a pause to excessive chase of materialism, putting a stop to the malady of endless greed in other to allow ourselves enjoy the satisfaction we derive from the little things we already have.
Perseverance and believing in one's self is another thing; life is short but then it's our responsibility or choice to enjoy each and everyday. The truth is that many do not persevere and this simply makes it difficult to trust in the natural process of life. In the good and bad times, it's important we find a reason to still celebrate life no matter the circumstances.
Happiness is key to finding the need for celebration. Sometimes we need to come to estol certain values like patience and this is why we life itself is a celebration of joy especially if it's well lived and not defined by unforseen circumstances. At the end of the day, it's determinant on us to find our diverse ways to express gratitude on the essence of the lives we have.
