Freedom From Choice

Choice is a gift. In choice is freedom. It is the foundation for our liberty and the conduit in which joy comes to us.

But choice must come from the will of the heart and gratitude for all we have and will receive. In this way our choices create harmony in our lives. When choice is based on competitive ideals or on our fears we manifest discord and pain.

When we choose joy and abundance and freedom then these ideals manifest first within us then they flow out into the world. That is why no freedom can be given by another to you and wealth and happiness are states of mind. They must first come from inside us to be made manifest outside us.

So choose wisely and with gratitude and expectation and you will find your life is fuller for it.

On Passionate Work

Passion is the fuel that keeps joy alive. When you are passionate you find joy in the simplest tasks and the most arbitrary things.

Passion drives you to work more effectively and it makes work's burden light. Passion makes your days meaningful. It gives you the drive to achieve and satisfaction in your endeavours.

So seek to do the things that you are passionate about. In this way you will find rewards far greater than a pay cheque or praise. In this way you will find joy in every day.

The Gift of Fun

Find fun in every day. Fun is life's way of remining us to be happy.

There are always opportunities to play, to frolic and to laugh. There is always time for a smile.

Life is too short not to laugh every chance you get. It is too special not to have magical moments. And surely life is too precious not to treat it lightly.

For it is in play that the beauty of a smile beams true and in laughter that the heart sings loudest.

The Gift of Pain

Pain is a gift we too often curse and, in so doing, miss it's true value.

In disease and illness we can discover the blessing of our good health. In loss we can remember the blessing of relationships and seek to love again. In turmoil we can learn the blessing of the peace we had and that will come again.

In pain we learn to appreciate our blessings and to value what and whom we have. In this we find pain is the prelude to peace and the preamble to joy.

Each Day I Choose Joy

Each morning choose to find joy in the world. Happiness is life's sweetness and it asks only that we savour it when it reveals itself in the blessings of every day.

That the sun still shines is a blessing and it's warmth and light are reason enough to smile. Take a moment each day to enjoy the sunlight and the life it brings.

That our hearts can love is a blessing we too often take for granted. Yet it is in sharing and recieving love that we find joy and hope. Take a moment each day to give your love to another for it is in this way that we find that we have an abundance of love within us always.

That there is life in our veins is a blessing and it is the greatest gift we can receive. Use it fully and don't waste even a moment of it for it is far too short and fleeting.

Chase your dreams and let life's magic be revealed for you. Don't put off your joy for tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. All that exists is this moment for the past is no longer and the future is not yet to be.

Let now be your happiest moment, the zenith of your joy for there is no better, or other, time to be happy than now.

Joy By Design

Joy occurs by design - not by chance. You must first choose joy, then believe it will find you, then allow it when it does. There is joy to be found everywhere if you choose to accept it. From the smiles of your neighbours to the sunshine in the morning, joy awaits you in every moment.
