Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny. -- Upanishads

Joy is a habit

You have to make Joy a habit - like brushing your teeth. It has to be something you practice every day. You have to find it, sometimes you have to dig so deep you may hit an internal organ while you're diggin! - But it's there. The other option? Sink in your dark hole and grimace.
Joy can only be found within.
It may expand from external sources - but it happens inside of you -not outside of you.
So- you have the power to EXPAND your joy whenever you want!
Like right now!
Close your eyes - focus on the area above the navel and below the throat - and visualize a wellspring of joy bubbling and rising up with each breath - it just takes a few minutes of intention and awareness to tap into the joy well and find it.
So go in there and experience joy baby!
Make this a habit each day - and pretty soon, you won't need to find it anymore - it will always be there.
Peace and Joy
