Living in Joy is Important
A few years ago, I was cleaning my apartment, and feeling rather down. Then my inner voice said, "What are you doing put on some happy music." At the time I was listening to Beethoven and it was a rather slow piece. So I changed the Cd to a very peppy happy mix of country western music. My mood change almost instantly and my room was cleaned in a faster rate the usual.
Sometimes people ask me how come I am so happy most of the time. Well, it happens because when I wake up in the morning I decide that I am going to find things to laugh at during the day. Back in the eighties I found how much happier I was because I was laughing and was happier more often then not.
Animals and children can bring a lot of happiness and delight. We should love people and let them in because they can help us in the laughter department. My closest friends see the funny things in life too.
Maybe you have noticed that when you are around a joyful person you feel more elevated emotionally. You probably feel more alive and creative. Sometimes if you have been around the person who is joyful you will feel the joy energy yourself for a few days. Joy is an energy and the more you radiate joy the more you draw love and people to you.
Some times people will ask me why they can not find a partner to love them. More often then not they tend to be joyless. Some times they are people who hold anger and grudges from former partners. I suggested to one person that she try to be more upbeat and less sulky but she said that if some one didn't accept her the way she was to bad. Like Dr Phil says,"How's that working for you."
When was the last time you let yourself feel real deep down joy? Sometimes we feel happy for a few hours. Then we go back to feeling sorry for ourselves. I find that when I am full of joy, the fear tactics that we live under now, do not touch me in any way. I stay above that and live my own life. When I come down to depression or other negative feelings the fear bombarding us can start to settle in.
Every time we feel real love or real joy we are tapping into our real Inner Self. When we tap our real Inner Self we feel more alive. This is what helps to transform the world to a better place.
Lord,
Please help me to be part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
Amen
