Joy is an inside job! It isn't just a collection of happy moments; joy can even come through some of our saddest and most difficult times. Joy is our inheritance, but to be "invited to the joy party," we have to live in the present and be willing to leave behind our fears and insecurities. We need only take a bold step towards joy, and to bring our whole selves "to the party."
"Life is infinite energy coupled with limitless creative imagination. It is the invisible essence and substance of every invisible form. Its nature is goodness, truth, wisdom, and beauty, as well as energy and imagination. Our highest satisfaction comes from a sense of conscious union with this invisible life. All human endeavour is an attempt to get back the first principles, to find such an inward wholeness that all sense of fear, doubt, and uncertainty vanishes." -- Ernest Holmes
