A Formula for Finding Joy
It can feel like joy is hard to find, and in my experience, it is. The way humans are and how society is currently, joy feels like something we have to dig to find. In my ponderings over the last few months, it has occurred to me how the formula for experiencing joy in this lifetime looks like having these two skills:
The ability to love yourself unconditionally no matter what. Getting here takes hard work and deliberate practice, and it is important because loving yourself unconditionally offers you the ability to choose the highest vibrational choice 100% of the time. The lower vibrational choices are there but are no longer appealing. Unconditional love allows you the ability to quickly identify the highest vibrational choice, freeing up that energy for action.
Having complete faith and total trust that what is supposed to happen for you, will, no matter how things look as they unfold. Having this skill frees up the energy you have been putting into worry. This is energy you can use to help others and experience genuine happiness and caring for them. It is a great honor to be invited into the inner workings of another’s journey, and you will have the ability to witness how things unfold for them, while showing up as your whole self.
Keeping these ideas at the forefront of my thinking and deliberately practicing these skills is something I have been doing for a number of years. It takes time and patience but has become a way of life for me. If it is something you would like to learn to do, I hope you will! My hope is that someday enough of us will have done the digging and joy will become much easier to find and those yet to come will have an easier time accessing it.
