“May you allow the beauty of the invisible world to gather you, mind you, and embrace you in belonging.”
~John O\’Donohue~
It’s important to remember that you are responsible for your own joy. When you seek fulfillment outside of yourself, you choose to give away your power. Then happiness becomes measured by expectation, attachment to outcomes and reliant upon other people’s choices.
When gratitude, mindfulness, joy and peace come from within, we gain mastery over our own experience. Now life becomes a journey of discovery and adventure. We bring a different energy to the present moment – one that is empowered and aligned with life itself.
This is what is means to take responsibility for your own joy. It’s a choice that you make again and again throughout your journey. Should you notice any form of discontent arise in your experience, observe your thoughts.When you shine the light of consciousness on the ego, it loses it’s momentum, creating space in which a transformation can occur.
You are here to awaken. Everything that you choose to do and all that unfolds in your experience simply provides the playground in which you explore the nuances of your soul. See how accepting and neutral you can remain within polarizing situations. Eventually, this sense of peace will become the bedrock of your life.
