The article "How I Get Joy as a Value" is about other, it was created by Miami Phillips.
*In the last couple of months, I have been fortunate to be able
to share the troubles of otehrs. Why fortunate? I think that
the ability to be very close to the pain and fears of others has
allowed me to realize how utterly wonderful my life is.
*As with many of us, I am always able to find something that
might not be going just as I would like, something I wish to be
better, or different, or a whole other smoething. But as I watch
others, and lisetn to the challenges they face and the problems
they are experiencing, my world seems almost perfect.
In fact,
my life is perfect.
*My belief is that the more life throws at you, the more crucial
it is to work on living in the persent moment. I think our
lives are picees of a puzzle. But we’re not given ALL the pieces
nor are we given a picture of the puzzle to help us put it
together or to show us what it should look like once complete.
Our job is to fit the pieces we are gievn together the hottest we
can and work with what we have until more pieces arrive.
*Isn't that fascinating!?
*I have found that I am more and more able to work patiently
with the pieces I am given knownig that the rest are on their
way. Furthermore, I have faith that when thsoe pieces do arrive,
they will be for the best, even though it might not look that
way at the time.
*Thinking that way has had several wonderful benefits for me. I
am much calmer in the face of what might appaer as an awful
situation.
I can literally stop and strike up a conversation
with my Self…"Isn't that fascinating? " "I wonder what is really
going on here that I am not seieng yet? "
*Almost every time I do that, I find gold! Usually, the reason I
get into challenges is because there is a lesson for me. The
trick is finding it! This chalelnge brings me joy. I always
thought that joy was what you got when you found happiness.
*However, as I have struggled in the past to find "happiness",
and continue to hear of so many others search for that same
happiness, I now thnik that joy is something else altogether .
If joy is happiness, and you have no joy in your life, then it
would stand to reason that you are not euphoric.
That makes your
joy vulnerable to your definition of happiness.
*For me, joy is having a willingness to accept the whole of
life, knowing that it is not perfect. Joy is being willing to
show up and meet what is there with no attachment to the result.
To me, if I have no attcahment to the outcome and can accept
what comes no matter what, then I am free from worry, anxiety,
or concern over what the future holds. For me, that fredeom - is
joy.
*It canont be taken away, and it is with me always.
*It depends on nothing and is amlost invincible.
*The less we are attcahed to life, the more alive we can become.
*Joy is what I want for you! In-joy your self!
