Discovering Joy

Have you ever done something that you may have not enjoyed or currently do not enjoy?  I think a lot of us can relate to jobs we have had or currently have.  I guess the real question is, why are we still doing this if we don't enjoy it?  The answer is simple, we do it because there is an outcome we desire that comes from it.  If we knew there was no "end goal" with what we did, why would we be doing something we don't enjoy?  Personally, I'd much rather follow things that I do enjoy!  Wouldn't you?! Maybe you are already doing this and if so, YAY!  You have found a special part of the path of this existence.

Now check this out, what if we made the "end goal" the "current goal" or better yet the "goal, NOW".  You see, like I stated above, we do the enjoyable things for the end result, pay check, 401K, medical benefits, bonuses, support our families, buy things we like, or whatever else you can think of as to why you do things you do.  Check it out...if the end goal became the goal, NOW; what would change?  How would you approach what it is you are doing or what you will choose to do?  The more we move into the present, we tap deeper into attuning ourselves with our higher Self.

You see, in short, the more we seek to become fulfilled with joy in things outside of us, the further we are removing ourselves from the truth...and that is, joy is an inward experience.  It can be created through experiences and people but most importantly it is cultivated within when we allow ourselves to feel grace in each moment to experience the ever pervading Universal joy circulating all around and within us.  Existence is here, its NOW, its YOU, its everything, and when we move more into Self, an unquenchable flow of joy will pour throughout your existence.

With love always.
