The courage to experience joy
Joy comes from knowing your Self.
Your Self is happy, healthy, wealthy, and self-expressed. In this moment, you are those things if you are willing to let go of the “shoulds” that dull you. Knowing your Self and your innate imperfect perfection in this moment doesn’t mean you give up on getting “better”; it means you allow yourself to experience more of your Self, which knows how to embrace all the possibility in this moment and effortlessly inspire you into action.
Joy is available to you if you are willing to let go of the labels, roles, rules, fears, and worries that keep you resisting the moment. What if you let yourself say the thing, do the thing, dance, sing, create, try the thing, let go of the thing, jump up and down, be rejected, be accepted?
What joy could be waiting if you let yourself experience who you are on the other side of the shoulds?
