CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Short version – Don’t spend your life chasing the small, incremental moments of happiness. Find the joy in what you naturally do every day in life.

“Happiness is an emotional response to an outcome. If I win, I will be happy, if I don’t I won’t. It’s an if-then, cause and effect, quid pro quo standard that we cannot sustain because we immediately raise it every time we attain it. See, happiness demands a certain outcome, it is result reliant and I say if happiness is what you’re after then you’re gonna be let down frequently and you’re gonna be unhappy much of your time. Joy though… Joy is a different thing, its something else. Joy is not a choice, it’s not a response to some result. It’s a constant. Joy is the feeling that we have from doing what we are fashioned to do no matter the outcome. See, joy is always in process it’s under construction. It is in constant approach alive and well in the doing of what we’re fashioned to do and enjoying. The easiest way to dissect success is through gratitude. Give thanks for that which we do have, for what is working. Appreciating the simple things we sometimes take for granted. We give thanks for these things and that gratitude reciprocates. Creating more to be thankful for.It’s really simple, and it works. I’m not saying be in denial of your failures. No, we can learn from them too. But only if we look at them constructively as a means to reveal what we are good at. What we can get better at, what we do succeed at. We don’t always do our best, and since we are the architects of our own lives, let’s study the habits, the practices, the routines that we have that lead to and feed our success, our joy, our honest pain, our laughter, our earned tears. Lets dissect that and give thanks for those things. No matter what you choose, do not let it jeopardize your soul.”
