Joy

Such a little word........one that holds so much.

Joy need not be just about pleasure or happiness...........it can be that deep feeling of being connected, feeling well put together.

And it's beautiful because this can be 'your' space, pretty much... no matter what.

It can be the space from which you operate, your internal resource. It's from where you step out to handle the varied facets of life. Sure, in the middle of a storm, your energies go into handling and weathering the storm, but when you have this internal space of joy, you know you'll go back there......and likely, coming from there, you'll also be better equipped to handle those storms, the curved balls that life throws at you.

The curved balls are also what life is about.

According to the 'tao te ching', you stay stuck in the same problem until you learn, but once learnt,  you move ahead.....and then... life is waiting to throw you the next googly....after all growth is about  increasing level of difficulty.

And that's when holding the space of joy 'enables'

On the start of the new year, the new decade........this is one choice we can take :)
