GOOD EVENING!

To continue with yesterday's post, living a life of joy, fulfillment and enlightenment takes action. This is not a passive path, rather it is an act of faith and courage to go beyond your own world and travel to regions in your mind that are heretofore unknown, or at least areas you haven't passed in quite a while, possibly since you first arrived here. So what can you do in order to pursue this road. What lessons do I need to learn in order to make all my efforts take hold.

If a journey of a lifetime begins with a single step, then that is what you must do. Your first step is to acknowledge your life and where you are, and to lay out a map as it were to where you want to be (spiritually). Set up a series of guideposts that will illuminate your path, show you the way and help you when you occasionally get a little lost. With the help of these set points, you will be able to confidently move your life along a path of your choosing, but also acknowledge when you are befuddled, so that you can right your sail so to speak.

It is ok to get lost, it can even be helpful in understanding yourself and where you are. It is kind of like taking an accounting of what you are about, seeing how it is working for you and make whatever adjustments necessary for the moment. See, simple, huh, well not so simple, but I hope this is beginning to make some sense. I promise you it will all all into place after a while, and when it does, the clouds will lift off your head and you will see, feel, taste, smell and hear life as you have never experienced before.

So for now, start each morning with a mantra of your own creation, I like to start by choosing joy, and then I add happiness, abundance and light. You will find as you build your own Joy Handbook, filling it with stories, phrases, pictures, flowers, photos or whatever brings meaning to you, it will begin to take shape and the foundation of a truly joyful beingness will form from the confusion you once felt to the clarity of purpose you begin to become.

Have a joyful week,
Robb
