| THE SNOW LION IS ALWAYS FULL OF JOY |
JOY
Joy
is a feeling of great pleasure and delight.
Joy follows the word interest because
we have only nine innate affects (that means we have hard-wiring in our biology
that generates anger, distress, sadness, dissmell, shame, disgust, interest, joy
and surprise). As I alluded to in
yesterday’s word, interest, without interest
there is no real joy. We do not experience joy in our relationships, work,
family, friends, hobbies, or chores unless we have some interest in them. Some people hate to clean house and if they
have no real interest in having a clean house, they usually don’t clean house.
However, if they have a vested interested in a clean house, even though they
may hate housework, they feel a sense of joy and accomplishment when it is
done! Learning how to cultivate interest
will lead naturally to more joy in your days and weeks ahead.
Today, what do you imagine will
bring you great joy and delight?
Cultivate it as if you were making a special cake for your
birthday. List the ingredients you will
need to experience a delicious sensation of joy and then go out and accomplish
making a joyful event in your life.
