Joy to the World
When we think of the word joy we often think of big events – a baby being born, a new promotion we have wanted for ages, a marriage, or the beginnings of a new relationship. Yet joy is present in so many other things as well and sometimes we can overlook the joy we can get from the smallest of events, because we are always looking for the big events way off on the horizon. Let’s consider an example. Would you say that you experience joy every single day of your life? I would guess the answer is no, but if you look for it, it’s there. Maybe not always in big doses, but it is there. The secret to leading a happier life is in knowing how to find and appreciate the sources of joy we can find in our everyday lives. In order to do this, we need to stop and take notice of our surroundings. Would you say you appreciate and find joy in seeing the first flowers of spring unfold? How about in the fantastic aroma of fresh rainfall after a long dry spell? And what about watching your partner’s face as they smile at you – a big loving happy smile? All of these things – and many more – can give us moments of joy every single day. We just need to slow down a little in order to see them. The more joy you can create for yourself the more positive energy you will be sending out into the universe. The world is as you view it – through rose tinted glasses or dismal gray clouds. The sooner we realize that we create our own world, the happier we will be. Look upon each day as a gift to be enjoyed to the fullest and you will find pleasure and joy in everything you do. You can wake up in the morning with a smile on your lips and a song in your heart or you could groan as you roll over and mumble, “not another Monday!” The choice you make, and it is a choice, will determine the kind of energy you create throughout the day. As human beings we are the only creatures who have a choice in whatever we think, say or do. We are the masters of our mind and emotions and it is up to us to harness them productively. Hindu philosophy practices Oneness of the Universe. Whatever we seek is within us. We are the source of unending, limitless and everlasting joy. We just have to center ourselves and seek our happiness from within; it is the only joy that is permanent and unchanging. We have to draw our strength from this fact and be steady. Above all, we have to stay in touch with our core being; that oasis of peace and joy which never leaves us. We should strive be like a deep ocean. The waves and ripples of emotions, thoughts and feelings should just disturb the surface and not reach the depths. This does not make us superficial; it just means we do not swing to extremes. We say “yes” to life’s experiences and enjoy each moment to its utmost. The power of joy fulfills us in a way that no earthly pleasure can! Sometimes the real joy in life is hidden. All you have to do is uncover it.
