Joy Is A Spontaneous Expression

Joy in life is even more important than happiness.

Many issues can impact whether or not you feel happy. I have often said, and long believed, that happiness is something you bring to life more than you receive from life.

Joy is a spontaneous expression that can permeate your life, adding depth and dimension to the most mundane events and activities.

Joy springs forth in your heart and your mind, not so much from what you are doing but from what you are being. When you are being appreciative of the myriad of little things in life, joy fills your heart. It may be as simple as enjoying the cool caress of a breeze on your skin or the fresh smell of the air after a rain. Thousands of little things in life could easily be ignored as we hurry and scurry through our busy lives. When we stop to notice the little things in life and appreciate them they can be a wellspring of joy in your life.

Awareness of the world around you seems to be one of the keys and essential elements to bringing joy to your life. Likewise, gratitude for what comes to your awareness also seems to be a portal to experiencing joy.

What is amazing is that these awareness’s and gratitude’s need not be about major happenings in life. The little pleasures, the simple pleasures, serve to stimulate the wellspring of joy as a natural result of living a normal life. By being aware of and being appreciative of what is available for you in life, you bring into your life hundreds and even thousands of moments that are joyful. By the time the day has passed you find that you are, through these simple techniques, living in joy.

Living in joy opens you to a limitless wellspring of understanding and awareness that impacts your personal happiness.

Joy is a spontaneous response to connecting with your Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard

Joy connects you with the Love and Light that is your birthright as a beloved Child of God.

In my own spiritual and meditative life I began to observe that engaging in life with greater consciousness had an impact on how much joy I had in my life. By focusing my awareness and expressing my gratitude I expand my understanding of the connectedness of us to one another. This shift in consciousness led to my life becoming more joyful every day.

This does not mean that I never became upset of sad. It does not mean I walk through life inside a protective bubble. Rather, it does mean that the pervading experience in my life, in the midst of the challenges and trials, is one of joy.

The change of perspective that accompanies this awareness is both powerful and profound. There is an old folk saying, “it does not matter what happens to you, it is how you react to what happens to you that matters.” This folk wisdom is a key to what opens your life to joy.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
– Helen Keller

Gradually my experience of joy increased in my life. I was able to see the many blessings that I came in contact with every day. Celebration, praise, hope, and promise became common experiences in my life drowning out the voice of fear and leaving in its stead trust and faith.

Knowing that no matter what touched my life each day I could bring forth so much joy, it allowed me to draw the strength to face each dawn excited by the potential of what beauty and blessings were in store for me every day.

Within you is an unquenchable, inextinguishable spark of Divine Light. It comes through your Soul to be claimed as you take your first breath. The nature of that spark is Joy.
– Genevieve Gerard

You can let that divine spark guide your Soul and you can let that Light guide you. The choice is yours; day by day; moment by moment. With it, you were given the gift of thought. Your thoughts and the choices give you the power of co-creatorship with God in your life, through the Universal Law that “energy follows thought.”

Transformation Through Joy

Your life, your success, your happiness, and your joy are a great adventure of consciousness and experience. It is a magnificent opportunity to learn and grow. You have the power to transform and change everything and anything you choose.

Embrace the situations in which you find yourself with an attitude of joyous celebration. Examine your reactions to allow your perspective to focus on the positive. These choices are uniquely yours.

Within these little choices and decision in life are the keys to joy. You are never beyond hope. New possibilities are part of the promise of life.

Mistakes of the past can be immediately released because they are in the past. From this moment forward you can be free of their tyranny.

Fears that have held you in thrall can be released, right now. You can take the reins of your life and thoughts, and live the life of your dreams.

This is your life. This is your great adventure. This is your life laboratory, your school for consciousness. There are no limits or restrictions unless you put them there or keep them there.

Let your Joy guide you. Tune into your Soul, let your higher-self direct you. It is never too late. The greatest journey must begin from where you are. That first step sets off a chain reaction. Action, combined with intention magnetically attracts what you need, to you.

If you have breath, you have life. If you have life, you can have hope. Open your heart and your life to the new possibilities that are available to you. An old saying that is still true is that “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” Claim it.

Live The Life You Desire

There is never a better time to begin living the life you desire; living your life in joy. Today is your moment. Now is the call from your heart to embrace the unfulfilled possibilities that lie in the back of your mind. Begin to manifest the dreams and desires, right here, right now, today.

Be and become all that you are meant to be; all you have ever dreamed of being. The power is yours. Rejoice, the time is NOW! The possibilities are unlimited with joy.

In all of my work and in all that I teach: I wish you an abundance of joy in your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve
