God said:
Your heart is meant to take leaps for joy every day, every minute.
How much is life – your life – worth to you without enthusiasm?
What makes you happy?
Often the little things.
What are the little things that make you happy? Little things are big things in the life of a human being. And you are a human being.
Command your intention every day to enjoy!
Of course, finding joy can’t be orchestrated. In this case then, have the intention to keep your eyes out for joy. Keep your heart open for joy. Anticipate joy today. Hooray for joy!
I would invite you to say to yourself every day:
“Joy is mine today. My joy gives God joy.”
Off the top of your head today, what could bring you even a little happiness? Someone smiles at you, perhaps? Someone or something gives you some unexpected joy. You find a $100.00 bill on the street, and there is no one to claim it. You find your lost diamond ring when you are planting a flower. You hear from a long-lost friend. It is a beautiful night. The stars are out and blinking at you. Your child hugs you. The sun is shining. The air smells good. You hear some music you like.
What are the myriad events that could happen for you today that would make your heart light up and your eyes bright?
Excuse Me, dear ones, is there an end to the list of good moments that you can think of? Can it be that little happiness-making events are also Infinite?
I would like to ask you to think of such possibly-occurring events and let them run through your mind and your bloodstream.
Sometimes I think you may have been doing the opposite. It must be that you have looked for and found a huge list of gripes. Otherwise, why would you ever be grouchy as you are known to be to some others and to yourself?
You may have spent much of your day that could have been in joy thinking about your boss who doesn’t like you or your employee who doesn’t like you and used to like you or never did. Add up such factors, and where do they get you? If you want to be miffed, beloveds, you are doing a good job.
Of course, I have to ask you: Is this what you want? If it isn’t what you want, then go on a different track. Get out of the track where you feel displeasure.
Let Me put it plainly. If you like carrying a load of misery around with you, keep your same thoughts. If you don’t like carrying misery around with you wherever you go, then change what you are thinking about. Can it be so simple? Yes, it can only be so simple. Change what you are thinking about. Start a new refrain. Get out of the old. Your thoughts are a pointer toward your pleasure or displeasure.
Even when you’re good at recycling your thoughts, results may or may not be instant or fool-proof. Nevertheless, this way you are playing favorable odds. Tell Me, if you please, do you have any better ideas beyond everyone else changing themselves to suit you?
Oh, yes, you would also like Me to come in like a Prince on a White Charger and remove all heartache. Beloveds, you are the remover and preventer of your own heartache. I tell you bluntly that your greatest obstacle to a finer life is your unwillingness to change. You hold strongly to your desire to stay the same while desiring to receive different effects.
Budge, beloveds. You have to budge. Budge now.
