Each one of us has a thief inside of
our heads, threatening to steal away our joy.
And it’s our responsibility to
turn our backs on it, starve it of oxygen and let it die on its own.
Otherwise
it won’t stop until it sucks us in and drags us down into the darkness. ‘
The
problem is, this is an unnatural process for which we have limited tools and
training. We have fewer skills than our psychological environment demands. And
nobody teaches us how to physically step out of our mental nightmare and into
the real world.
They do, however, model
it. Because regardless of where we live, everywhere we look, there are
individuals consciously pursuing joy. All we have to do is watch and learn. To
notice the absence of expectation and judgment and justification in people’s
joyful behaviors, and then honestly ask ourselves what were doing the last time
we felt the same way.
The world is a mirror. And it’s our best defense against
the thief.
Look, I know we’re supposed to shit ourselves with fear, but the
reality is, life is just so goddamned wonderful, we won’t even believe it.
And
the best part is, there are a thousand names for joy. And each person has the
equipment to shout those names from the rooftop.
LET ME ASK YA THIS…
Is there really something wrong with you, or are you just a little joy insufficient?
LET ME SUGGEST THIS…
