Joy is not something you put off until tomorrow. Joy is NOW! Living by this standard allows me to navigate through many of life’s challenges with authentic rigour.
Waiting for everything in your life to be perfect only leaves one stagnant and unfulfilled. In the course of my work, I’ve come across many individuals who too often become frustrated and somewhat disillusioned by the constant grind to accomplish their goals; only to realize they are not finding any enjoyment in their pursuit. My question is: What’s missing here? It’s a strong dose of JOY!
Joy is a very splendid thing!
Finding enjoyment in working hard toward your dream or your goal is one of the most significant factors to reaping the rewards from your investment into your purpose. It’s important, then, to take some time to reward yourself in a joy-filled way! Whether you do so by taking an hour or two to connect with a friend, skip out to the cinema to watch the latest movie release, or stop for a few moments in quiet reflection to pray, meditate, read the Word with a grateful heart — you will be expressing joy in a practical manner.
Once I have completed an activity or accomplished a certain goal, I will often play the piano or do a simple craft, or catch up with one of my dear friends. For me — among many other things — THIS IS JOY!
How are you making Joy part of your day?
