#When I Receive Fantastic News #

Daily writing prompt
You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

Dear friends,

Life is full of surprises, and sometimes, the universe showers us with moments of sheer joy —those unexpected, fantastic news that make our hearts leap with excitement.

Have you ever imagined how you would react if you received incredibly wonderful news?

It could be anything—winning an award, landing a dream opportunity, receiving a long-awaited message, or finding out that a loved one is safe and happy.

The initial reaction to such delightful news is unique for each person, yet the feelings of elation, gratitude, and sheer bliss remain universal.

I still vividly remember the day I discovered my selection for the Bank through the newspaper.

At first, I couldn’t believe it. I double-checked my roll number against my admit card to ensure I wasn’t imagining things. That moment was incredibly exciting—it’s truly difficult to put into words!

Yes, friends, what’s the first thing I do when I get fantastic news? Let me take you through my journey of emotions and actions, hoping it resonates with your own experiences!

The moment I received the great news of my selection in the Bank from the newspaper, I couldn’t believe it at first.

My first reaction was sheer disbelief. “Really? Is this true?” I asked myself. My brain took a moment to process it, and in those few seconds, I found myself rereading the message, replaying the moment, or even pinching myself to confirm that it wasn’t a dream.

This moment of shock is like the calm before the storm of excitement, where I let reality sink in before fully embracing the joy.

Once I realized that the news was indeed true, my emotions overwhelmed me. Some people shout with joy, some dance in excitement, but in my case, I was overcome with happy tears.

The emotions were so pure and heartwarming that they simply flowed out. Celebrating victories, whether big or small, is a beautiful experience, and at that moment, my body instinctively reacted to my soul’s elation.

For me, joy is best experienced when shared. The next thing I did was grab my phone (back then, landline phones were available) and call my closest family and friends.

I simply couldn’t keep such wonderful news to myself. The sheer delight in their voices, their excitement matching mine, made the moment even more special.

Their happiness added another layer of fulfillment, reinforcing the idea that joy multiplies when shared.

After the initial celebration, a deep sense of gratitude washed over me. I took a moment to reflect on the journey that led to this moment—transforming my path from an educational life to a professional career.

I remembered the challenges, the patience, and the perseverance it took to reach this point.

This was a personal achievement, and I firmly believe in acknowledging the efforts behind it.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and silently thanked the universe, God, and my hard work for making it possible.

Every milestone, big or small, deserves a celebration! The next step was indulging in a small treat—a fancy meal, a coffee date, or simply enjoying my favorite dessert. But in my case, there was a grand party with family and friends!

I strongly believe that celebrations should be grand, as they make the moment truly special. Taking the time to cherish victories instead of rushing to the next goal is essential.

Fantastic news serves as a reminder that hard work, patience, and hope eventually bear fruit. Once the initial excitement settled, I used the energy of the moment to fuel my future endeavors.

Whether it was setting new goals, inspiring others, or simply enjoying the newfound happiness, I made sure to carry forward the positivity.

The momentum of good news often pushes us to work harder and strive for even greater achievements.

In the end, receiving fantastic news is a magical moment that deserves to be cherished. From the first reaction of disbelief to the final reflection of gratitude, every step of the journey is worth embracing.

Life gives us these golden moments to remind us to smile, celebrate, and be thankful for the beauty of existence.

So, what about you? What’s the first thing you do when you receive fantastic news? Take a moment to reflect and embrace the joy it brings!

BE HAPPY….BE ACTIVE….BE FOCUSED….BE ALIVE…
