How Much Joy is in your Journey

Life is meant to be lived abundantly! many people in Western culture are striving for success. There are people who make a lot of money, but their relationships “stink”. There are people who are highly spiritual, but they’re broke all of the time. There are people who want the home, a great business, and all of these outer things, however, having these outer things does not necessarily guarantee what we really want, which is happiness. We go for these outer things thinking that they’re going to bring us the happiness, but it’s backwards.

The way to live that abundant life is to go for the inner joy, the inner peace, and the inner vision first, and then all of the outer things appear. Everything you want is actually an “inside” job. The “outside” world is a world of effects. It’s just the results of your happiness and joy!

Imagine living a life of purpose where you get to do what you want and you get to enjoy doing it. Imagine getting rid of the self-defeating chatter in your mind, those nagging voices that chip away at your self-esteem and prevents you from accomplishing your goals or dreams. Imagine developing the courage and confidence to maximize your own true potential and experience more joy in your personal and professional life because your have developed and explored a vision in your life.
