Here is a question for you. Does one find joy in life or does one create it? Actually it is both. The joy you seek is already present in every moment of every day. Joy is limitless. Joy just is. Joy is everywhere, in everything and of everything. We can allow ourselves to experience it. Joy is energy and because we are energy as well, we are also joy. We can create experiences and expressions of the joy that we are. When we do that, the joy energy expands and we once again can create new expressions and experiences of that which we have become.
When one places their focus on the joy energy, one begins to see the joy expressed and experienced in that moment. You can allow yourself to feel it and in that moment the joy energy expands.
What limits us and blocks us from experiencing the joy energy are our fears, our beliefs about something and our perspective. Take for example a simple thing like washing dishes. If when growing up doing this was one of your chores and you did not like being forced to do this, your beliefs, perspective and thoughts about doing dishes will reflect this. You project your dislike about being forced to do something onto the act of doing dishes. This blocks and or limits you from experiencing the joy in the moment. You carry this with you as you live your life. The act of doing dishes is completely different than being forced to do something you did not want to do.
You can shift all of this once you realize that you associated one thing with another. You can see doing dishes for what it is without it being shaded by a past experience. You adopt a new belief, perspective, thought about doing dishes which reflects more joy than you previously allowed.
This type of experience allows to come to a new understanding of yourself. You have become a new and expanded you. From that new point you can now create, manifest and experience even more joy than you could before.
We are always in the process of finding and creating more joy. It is limitless in its possibilities. Once you are open to the limitless and unlimited possibilities of experiencing joy, you can begin to remove your limits and blocks so as to experience yourself in new ways. How grand is that?

You are the Source of Your Joy Part 1
As each day passes one grows closer to the knowledge that one seeks. Each day is like surprise package for as it unfolds there are wondrous things to behold. Yet you often do not see these things for as much as our world has grown in some areas it has not in many others. As a world many have moved away from that which you are. If you doubt this take stock of one of your typical days.
When you first open your eyes in the waking hours what do you first experience? What is it that you first feel? What are your first thoughts? For these things set the tone for your day. These let you know where you are, who you are and what you will create for that day.
Let us first address those of you whose first experience of the day is to think of all the things you have planned for your day’s experience. When you have those thoughts what is it that you feel? Is it stress? Is it some other negative feeling? Do you dread your day? Why do you dread something that has not occurred yet? When you first awake and already have a negative feeling about what has yet to occur, you are in that moment creating your day to be a negative experience. All this before you have even gotten out of bed. You are “setting yourself up” so to speak to have a day where you do not experience as much joy as there is for you.
Life on our physical plane can be complicated with all the things one has to do. Or is it? What is it that you do that is more important than experiencing joy? Is your job, caring for family and friends or any other of your duties so important that you would sacrifice experiencing joy? We ask these questions of you for these are the questions you ask in your own way. When you begin your day with a mindset of experiencing anything other than joy you are in fact asking how to experience joy in your day.
When you first awake what are you focusing on? Your duties or what brings you joy? Your duties are a source of joy for everything created is a source of joy. If only you allow it to be. Your day is already joy filled before you even awake but when you think and feel it otherwise then that is what you create, manifest and experience. No one other than you causes you to experience anything. Whatever it is that you experience you do so cause of what you have created and manifested. Your boss, children, spouse, neighbor, family members, strangers or friends do not cause you to experience anything. They are not the source of your experience you are.
When you first awake and experience negative thoughts and feelings about your day is it because you are not pleased with your boss, spouse, children, family members, co-workers or friends? Did they DO something to cause you to start a new day with a negative mindset? No, they did not . You are reacting and making them the source as opposed to you being the source.
When someone does something and you experience a negative reaction, that reaction is yours, you created it by placing judgment on the behavior and then manifesting an experience based on that judgment. You are in fact saying “I do not like what you did and that made me feel the way that I do”. This type of thinking is what leads you to give yourself permission to react negatively. The other becomes the source. The other is the cause. The other is responsible. You often refer to this as a defense mechanism as if it is out of your control. This is a misperception as to what is actually occurring. For when you allow another to be the source of your experience you have granted them the creative power of your experience. Yet this can not occur for only you have the creative power of your experiences. What you do is therefore release yourself of the responsibility for creating and manifesting your experiences and grant that to another. They become responsible not you. This is not real but you make it real in your mind. It becomes your reality for you created it, manifested it and experienced it. Even when you create another to be responsible for what you are experiencing, you still created it, manifested it and experienced it, therefore responsible for that experience. You created it and therefore it has become real to you. This is just how powerful a creator one is.
