JOY As Purpose The purpose of your life is to experience JOY When you’re experiencing JOY you often create. You create things. You create relationships. You create friends. You create art, music, dance, etc. You make things. You achieve new understandings. You explore. You wonder. You invent. You find yourself being resilient and resourceful. You grasp new solutions to perplexing problems. You go to new places. You try new things. But you didn’t come to have any of these things. You came to experience JOY. But we got it turned around. We get taught we came to get things, so that we can experience JOY. We’re taught, “Get out there and make it happen.” “Be an achiever.” We’re told, “Be a mover and a shaker.” And in being turned around we lose our original purpose. And in being turned around we lose our JOY. And in losing our JOY we lose the juice, the power, the essential thing that gave MEANING to all the things we seek so desperately. And then we get tired of the grind. Put back JOY as your purpose. Put feeling good back, as your essential desire. Come to realize feeling good is mostly a perspective, the by-product of looking at things (including yourself, situations and others) constructively. If or as you do you will experience yourself getting the juice and the power back. And you will create the ‘things’ but with meaning and JOY. https://youtube/watch?v=Z5gzQQHFSW4&list=PLzBwboOglz8zEK8Hwk2GS6FaTRzYymXke&index=116
