Every once in a while the stars align and we get to experience incredible, perfect joy. I absolutely love moments like that, and can ride for days on the wave of happiness they create. But returning to the real world can be hard! I would very much like to experience that kind of perfect joy more often.
Sometimes joy is something we choose, and sometimes it's simply a gift -- the outcome of small choices and circumstances, some of which are not even in our control. When those moments come, express gratitude for them and make choices that will allow you to have them more often.
Character is formed by small choices over time. We may not notice the changes that are happening to us, because they can be so gradual, but as we identify, refine and live by our core values we will become more capable and aligned. Others will see our integrity and want to find what we've found.
Each of us has a unique mission to accomplish. We may not know exactly what that mission is, but it can become more clear over time as we identify things we are good at that bring joy to us and those around us. When we are living true to ourselves, opportunities to use our gifts will regularly present themselves, and we will recognize them when they come.
