WHY TURNING 40 IS ALWAYS SPECIAL?

  

   

 “Life really does begin at forty.”  Carl Jung

When one turns 40, the birthday celebrations are great and treated as a very special occasion. The person has crossed milestones from being an infant, baby, toddler, teen, adult, and grown-up individual.

Turning 40 is a significant milestone in one's life, a moment that deserves to be celebrated in style and with unforgettable memories. It marks the culmination of years of experiences, achievements, and personal growth.

The good news is that one survey found that life is better once you turn 40. 40-year-olds tend to face less stress. They also tend to feel happier and more confident too. We want your 40s to be the best decade you've experienced.

Generally symbolising a period of testing, trial and then, finally, triumph, the number 40 can give significance to new life, new growth, transformation, and a change from one great task to another great task.

While you cannot turn back time “turning 40” suggests something exciting! The simple phrase “turning” means you can turn into anything you want to be. You can turn to anything that you want to. It also means you can turn on your passion, turn on your greatness, turn the page, turn the corner and move on!

THE NEED TO CELEBRATE:

You've achieved so much in 40 years, now the best is yet to come. Four decades of awesomeness is no joke! So here's to forty more years of happiness, prosperity, and health! 

As you age, you start to understand what's important in life. You have a better sense of what makes you happy. You better understand the importance of health. You're not as afraid of death as you once were and are more focused on living in the moment.

What makes a 40th birthday special?

 The literal term for a 40th birthday is called a “Ruby Jubilee.” Forty is spiritually significant since it marks the middle of your life.

In Sacred Scripture, the number “40” signifies new life, new growth, transformation, a change from one great task to another great task, etc.

Turning 40 often comes with a significant shift in priorities and values. This period allows for introspection and evaluation of past decades, providing a clearer picture of what truly matters.

GREETINGS:

“Happy Birthday at 40, May this milestone be a day of joy, surrounded by the love of family and friends. May your forties bring you laughter, love, and the realization of your aspirations. Here's to celebrating you and the wonderful journey ahead!”

This is a message to all those turning or turned 40 in 2024.
