Adding Joy
I am so grateful to see more joy in my life and in my days.
I commited to discovering what I love to do and taking the steps to do it.
This has paid off over and over again and goes so much deeper into my entire life.
Even though it took several years to achieve the whole feeling, I am grateful I began adding elements of what I love to do wherever I could.
I began to look forward to collecting supplies for a project and then taking bits of time to work on it until it was done.
Often I had more than one project going at a time, because I would have to wait to figure out what I wanted to do at different points.
I was able to find others of like-mind and it was fun to work on similar ideas together.
This feeling of community broke the isolation I had been living in for so long.
Joy is an attracting factor.
It attracts you to what you love and it attracts you to others who celebrate the same kinds of enjoyment.
It is wonderful to have support as you figure out the next step;
It is uplifting to receive encouragement and suggestions as you ponder the overall effect.
Week by week, step-by-step, you create a monument to joy by your dedication.
You honor yourself in an uplifting manner.
You leave your sadness and desperation behind as you commit to a class or project.
You move yourself into the mentality of enjoyment.
You become more skillful.
You are willing to take chances and to experiment.
Your whole approach changes as you embrace this joyful aspect of yourself and make room to express it.
The more you do this, the more you move in the direction of your dreams.
And one day you live there.
