If you’ve been seeking greater joy, happiness, and movement in your then this is going to speak directly to your heart and soul.
Marie Kondo (Bestselling Author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up) recommends we make choices about our belongings based on whether or not it sparks joy.
I love it. I agree. And I’ve practiced a very similar p hilosophy as Marie for years.
But does YOUR LIFE spark joy?
Do YOU spark joy?
This is today’s million dollar question….
DO YOU SPARK JOY?
You are the common denominator in ALL your experiences here on planet earth.
So imagine if you could cut to the JOY as quickly and joyfully as possible.
Imagine if you could let go of all the “conditions” that are keeping you from experiencing joy now.
Is it weight that you want to lose so then you’ll be happy?
Is it a loving relationship that you desire, because then you’ll be joyful?
Is it more money? A new business? A new boss?
What is it for you that you feel you need to be happy?
Now, think about it, and hold it in your consciousness.
Feel it. I mean, really feel it.
Take a deep breath.
Now, carry that JOY into your day.
YOU be the spark that gets the joy candle burning.
Got it?
Could it really be this easy?
It IS, unless you do this…
THIS ONE THING WILL KILL YOUR JOY FASTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
It’s the belief that you have to do it perfectly in order to be joyful, happy, satisfied, fulfilled…
Kim McMillan reminds us today, “When I loved myself enough I gave up perfectionism — that killer of joy.”
I couldn’t agree more.
I spent the majority of my life living in that space.
Until I went through one, two, then three divorces…it was obvious to me that my life wasn’t perfect, and neither was I. So I decided to give up the belief that I had to be, and I simply and profoundly committed to being fully me.
What’s perfect anyway?
Someone once told me that perfect is boring.
And today you can see that it’s also a killer.
It’s time to resurrect your joy, my dear and this is how to do that…
J.O.Y.
J – Just do it.
O – Overcome by becoming.
Y – YOU.
