“I choose joy”
as life presents new challenges to me,
my physical body
wants to run away
from this discomfort.
my ego works extensively
to make sure that I am safe
from such disruptions.
I hear suggestions
from within such as
“take the easier way”
or “don’t overextend yourself”
or even “poor you.”
at first,
I rest into these emotions.
after all,
I want to be safe.
life can be so scary at times.
it’s at this moment
when I have a choice.
do I sit with self made excuses
and justifications
and enable my fear to control me?
or do I choose joy
and walk through the pain and discomfort?
I choose joy.
and then I choose joy
again and again.
sometimes I have no idea
why I’m smiling,
but I still smile.
i understand that life
takes place in my daily decisions.
there’s so much out there to explore.
I choose to jump into life
willingly and openly
rather than hide from its glory.
this choice does not
take away the fear or pain,
but it helps me recognize it
as fuel.
this choice is not a one time deal.
I am working to make it a habit
and know that I’m not
going through this alone.
I will be constantly guided and lead
on my journey.
my team of invisible forces
has taken my cue.
joy is the gold
in this treasure map.
slowly,
my eyes and ears will adapt
and be on the constant lookout
for life’s tender slices of joy.
those small moments
that exude wonder and awe
that I may have overlooked in prior times.
I rest into this lifestyle
with a calm
yet zesty demeanor.
woah,
things just got really fun.

The last line is important because, after all, this life is meant to be fun! When we can be an active part of creating our reality by focusing on the good and choosing joy, we can laugh at ourselves more.
We do not take things too seriously. We get out of our own way.
We ENJOY.
The invisible forces that surround us respond to our energy. This relationship is one that I have been working on since I was young. I remember having conversations with my “team” from an early age. At that time, I did not need a label to define the experience and trusted the process. Whether you label this realm as god, angels, guides or anything else, we are referring to the same entity. This loving and joyful invisible force that never leaves our side!
It is so rewarding to cultivate this relationship. Ask trusted friends and family members how they communicate with the other realms. Perhaps many have never been asked this question before and will enjoy explaining their process.
Lastly, joy is ours to create! There is no complicated formula. There is only a decision. One that you can make hundreds of time per day.
C
choose joy!
