Weekly Wisdom – Do You Live With Joy?
This is a simple question. But for many it is actually difficult to answer.
Why?
Well, because some do not want to admit that they do not live with joy. They have great families, wonderful jobs, nice houses and they feel guilty to say that they do not have joy filled days.
Others cannot answer it because, quite simply, they NEVER stopped to even think about it. They are programmed to get up, go to work, come home, eat, rinse and repeat.
And then there are those who have no problem answering it. Out of those, we have ran into very few people who actually say “Yes. My life is filled with joy.” And then not say anything else.
Most of the time there are qualifiers. Such as, my life is mostly filled with joy but this right here sucks.
On the other side of the coin, there are those who say, “Nope. Do not feel joy throughout my day.” Then when asked “why” they really have no idea.
Listen guys, life is too short not to live with joy. The kind of joy kids feel when they see presents on their birthday!
You may wonder, “How can I live with joy everyday?”
No one is perfect. No one can live with joy and happiness 24/7. But you can live with joy every day.
It all starts with knowing what you want out of life. If you do not know what you want, then you do not know what obstacles are in your way. Which means you cannot develop a solution to remove them.
Sit down and think about what you really want in life. Create a list without talking yourself out of things saying “that’s not possible.” Knowing gives you clarity. Creating plans to achieve or acquire it gives you purpose. Knowing you are working towards your objectives and removing obstacles helps create joy.
So if you are not living with joy, you now know how to get of your ass and work towards it now.
