Follow Your Joy!
What a concept, right? I remember reading a book about following your joy to discover your life’s purpose, lasting relationships, etc., and I realized how much of my life I had lived without joy. (Most all of it!) I tried to be someone that everyone else wanted me to be (including God), and forgot me in the process. Believe me, there is no joy in that!
When you forget yourself, eventually you resent life and all joy leaves you, if there was ever any to begin with, that is.
When you picture “Joy,” you might picture a little girl running, jumping, dancing freely, chasing butterflies, who is completely care free. Why? Because she is in her moment, loves just being herself, and is happy. She’s not trying to be perfect. She’s not trying to be pleasing. She’s not trying to look good, be good or any of that other nonsense. She is just following her joy and life is fun, happy and full of adventure.
A few years back, I decided that I would try this process. So each day I chose to follow my joy in some fashion. What is kind of sad and funny about this is that I had to figure out what my joys were first. That shows you how far away from joy my life had gone.
So since choosing to follow my joy, my life has been radically changed – from my mission in life to my relationships with everyone to how I feel each and every day. I can promise you, once you decide to follow your joy, you will never go back.
My Sweet Intention
I follow my joy daily. Every day I feel my joy and do whatever brings me joy at least once per day.
(Note: You may have forgotten yourself for so long; you have to take time to figure out what brings you joy first, and that is OK. As I said, I did.)
