Joy is the goal of life....
As you guys know I have been trying to deal with my fears of failure.
I have been unable to take CPR due to this fear.
I think I would like to open up a clinic but am afraid to even think about what would be required to do this...I am afraid to get out of this box that I am stuck in........ so I have been reading this wonderful book:
Feel the fear and do it anyway.
by Susan Jeffers, Ph.D.
Great book, first book that I have read in a very long time.
I highly recommend it!
Quote:
....say yes to life. Participate. Move. Act. Read. Write. sign up take a stand. Or do whatever it takes for you. Get involved in the process........"every organism has one and only one central need in life, to fulfill its own potential..." ....Joy is the result of using our powers to the fullest, and for that reason joy, not happiness, is the goal of life.
and what is joy?
It is something that expresses the ebullience of the spiritual part of ourselves. Joy is characterized by lightness, humor, laughter and gaiety.
Lighten up!
If you have ever been around a person who is centered and enlightened you are struck with their humor and ability to laugh at themselves.
....commit,
commit yourself to pushing thru the fear and becoming more than you are at the present moment. The you that could be is absolutely colossal. You don't need to change what you are doing-simply commit to learning how to bring to what ever you do in lfe...the loving and powerful energy of your Higher Self.....
If we do not consciously and consistently focus
on the spiritual part of ourselves,
we will never experience the kind of joy,
satisfaction, safety and connectedness we are all seeking.
