The 5 Principles of Joy

We can do many researches and be taught so much about joy, but not really grasp the true essence of this powerful topic. However, it is best to have some simple principles to help us exercise our joy, knowing that it is first in inner expression of an outer demonstration. The major thing to keep in mind is that every thought turns into a pattern and that pattern produces an end result. Therefore, if you are believing God to put some joy in your life, remember it is not his job, for “He has already given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.”

Remember what ever you desire to achieve in life is up to you to make it happen.

However, as we go about this route we must do it with a joyful spirit.

Here are 5 ways of helping us activate our joy.

Remember practice makes perfect!

1.Examining without judgment

• When we observe things we learn from it, therefore, learn to observe what you are thinking about and how you react towards events.
• As you do these self observations be free from any judgment. You want to detect which thought pattern is not producing joy.
• Don’t be hard on yourself if you are not experiencing happiness in situations that may arise. The key is to become aware of your surroundings and make the best out of it.

2. Make a joyful sound everyday

• Whether it’s a simple song, a “hello” or “good bye”, express it with love as the joy in your heart uplifts those around you.
• Learn to express gratitude in all the areas of your life, the many changes in your life and the challenging time of your life.
• See yourself laughing more often, even when “the going gets tough” know that the tough still gets going.

3. Rejoice with others...no matter what

• Be happy for other people’s success because you also share in their achievement.
• You are a joy-giver, so give joy and learn to receive it like there is no tomorrow.
• Rejoice through the thunder storms, the blizzards & the sunshines in our lives- "Rejoice in the Lord always!"

4. You are that inspiration

• You are that vessel of inspiration- "I am an inspiration to many", keep that in mind.
• Through this consciousness, let your happiness be imprinted in the hearts of many.
• Remember you always have something great to say and give & many are counting on you.

5. It is possible to experience joy

• Understand that God desires to bring out the joy in you.
• Experiencing joy comes from a heart that desires to acquire enlightenment of Gods Love.
• You are full of divine substance and must carry it out with conviction and produce immediate results.

Until then, make it a productive Joyful One,
