The opportunities of Joy


Opportunities are knocking every day. In fact, it is knocking at your door right now, what do you do? Well, you can welcome it and see what it has to offer or choose to ignore it? But thank God we are curious beings, so we open the door and find out that this is a great opportunity full of joy.

It doesn’t have to be your lucky day to feel that a great opportunity will come your way. In fact, even at this moment one is waiting for you to realize, whether it's literally knocking at the door to your house or the door to your heart. The opportunities of Joy tells us that every day is a glorious one and every situation has great lessons we can learn from.

However, we must first understand that opportunities are divine ideas that we should be mindful of. An idea does not just pop up for no other reason but to tell us something. Yet, we must get a hold of it and discover the root of its plans. These ideas are divine because as you walk in Joy, you will only experience divine intentions which are like endless possibilities that constantly occurring in our path. So, by learning to be in tuned with the Universal Mind and connect to the essence of Life around us, we will always attract opportunities of Joy.


For instance, you've been dreaming of playing a lead role in a movie; then out of the blue you are ask to volunteer your time in a facility that has nothing to do with your movie path. In the mean time the Director of that movie owns that organization where you are ask to help out, but you passed the chance of helping out. There may have been opportunities of good events that were waiting behind this event. Meanwhile, you're waiting for that important phone call, just to realize you've missed another chance of expressing your talents and gifts in something else.

The point is for us not to take for granted the people and events in our lives. No matter how much you may desire something, it is always best to sacrifice and seek to meet others need before your own. As you grow in the awareness of "how can I give & love, and serve" you will experience great opportunities that can benefit many around.

For this reason, we must not ignore or put aside random thoughts that come our way, for they may be a glorious idea that is looking to express in a glorious way. Sometimes there are risk that must be taken so that we can discover and unfold the treasures of life. Therefore, it is best not to be attached to our daily routines which may cause a hindrance in our decision making.


Like in most fairy tales, especially ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and ‘Snow White’, the princess must be awakened by true loves first kiss. If she does not receive that “special” kiss then she will sleep forever. Likewise, our subconscious mind is the princess that desires to be reconnected with her prince, the male principle. However, misses this opportunity to reconnect with her true Love, then she will continue to sleep. Thus in our case we would be spiritually sleeping and missing joyful events. And this sleep is because of the door that was never answered to welcome the joyful opportunities.

So, don’t fall asleep on the opportunities that may be passing you by. It may be an answered prayer, a decision that needs to be made, an important project etc. The goal is to become aware and attentive to the movement of life around us. Ask yourself, what is it that life is offering? Out of the millions of great options, am I just seeing a few of them?

Now is the time to seek in order that you may find great opportunities in all that you are affiliated with. Don't look for the negative things which only brings your hope down, but get divine substance that will shower you with joy unspeakable.

Now is the time to re look at any situation that you may have doubted, questioned or lost enthusiasm in doing. Remember that whatever may come your way is a great opportunity for you to explore.

Until then, Make it a productive One,
Love,
Guerdy
