When joy is possible :)

Most people are looking for joy as though it is a hidden treasure and meant to be never found. They think its impossible to find joy in the world full of miseries. When you tell them joy is possible...they come up with a thousand reasons to prove you wrong...like.."you have no idea what i am going through" being the most popular respond. Yes of course..but then i too can say the same thing to you cant i? So, how is it possible for some to stay joyful while others are dragging not only themselves but everyone on their way, through hell. 

First of all stop assuming that those who stay joyful have no problems in their lives...don't be surprised if they have bigger problems then you have. 

Then, observe and learn from them, stop questioning everything and just pay attention to what they do.

Stop assuming that people who are joyful are just pretending while they are suffering alone! Not everyone is as miserable as you think they are.......some have simply transcended misery!!

JOY for real is POSSIBLE!! First you have to BELIEVE! 

Then you have to let JOY HAPPEN to you. Stop chasing after it, stop being so restless. Let life happen....give it a chance and you will be surprised at what speed it brings you JOY!

If you have no idea what i am talking about then do these:

Think of everything you love..no matter what is going on in your life at this very moment. Let it be and just day dream of everything you love....icecream..chocolates..sarees...books...lipstick....kids...music...movies...flowers....whatever it is...as long as you absolutely LOVE it! Not just like it but LOVE it to the core!! Whatever it is for you...whether or not you are having it now, just feel it and enjoy the feeling!  

Train yourself to talk about everything you love when you are having a conversation with friends or family instead of all the miseries you are going through. 

Pay attention to everything you love while you are going through your daily routine. For example If you happen to see someone wearing your favourite color at work...admire it. Love it and feel it!

If you keep doing this....after sometime it becomes a habit. And you will suddenly find everything around you cheerful. Then, suddenly something you love comes to you like magic. For those of you who have read The Secret...this is not new...but just reading isn't enough...do it! It worked for me! it will work for you! 

Just let go and trust life...

When i learnt how to let go and surrender to the moment, life brought me to places i never imagined i would reach! And i don't mean physically...but through the journey within me.  

To the realms where JOY is POSSIBLE! When nothing on the outside can touch it...where you are dancing with life! Where you could feel life breathing through you!! 

Everything i love happening at once..and leaving me breathless each time! Such joy cannot be chased after ...it happens of its own accord. Just like how you cant force a bud to bloom...nature has a way to make things happen. And it does it beautifully! If only we stop getting in its way....
