A dictionary will give the definition of
joy as “a feeling of great happiness or pleasure” or maybe “a cause of delight”.
The adjective of joy is joyful which means “causing or expressing joy”. Then we
have the adverb joyfully which can be used when we are doing something with joy
leading us to be full of joyfulness.
We are always being told to “enjoy” in
restaurants, cafés and bars, etc., in an almost robotic automated way, without
any true feeling behind it.
The dictionary tells us that enjoy means “to
take pleasure or satisfaction in something” or “ to take experience something
desirable”.
The word joy seems to be bandied about
without much thought as to how one is to achieve this state of joy, joyfulness
or joyousness.
It appears that we are seeking joy in the
wrong places. We are looking for outward stimuli to feel joyful which of course
leads us to seek ever more activities in order to maintain this joyfulness. Activities
such as shopping, eating, drinking, gaming and any other kind of consumerism
that can be used to drag us out of our lethargy.
My recommendation for bringing joy into
your life is to seek it within. Be still and meditate. Go into your heart and feel
the love coming to you from the Divine. Bring in the light from Source through
your crown chakra and hold it in your heart and you will soon feel the joy of
being loved unconditionally.
Once you feel this unconditonal love for
yourself and others you will soon know what joyful living is like and believe
me you won’t want to live any other way.
