Joy reveals opportunities...


Joy is the preferred emotion that most of us want to feel most of the time. It is the chief characteristic of the state of happiness. However, the world is such that unless you deliberately create it in your life, happiness comes only once in a blue moon.

So how does gladness of heart enable you to be a greater achiever? The words of the enlightened show that the divine view of any situation is always delightful. In other words, having feelings of despondency, sadness or hopelessness about a situation indicate that you have not yet arrived at the correct interpretation of the situation.

You become glad at heart whenever you see things from a perspective that makes you appreciative. Indeed, whenever you are grateful, you are cheerful. Therefore the esoteric meaning of this happy attribute is GRATITUDE.

The relevance of this to achievement is that gratitude is the cosmic law of increase. Whatever you are sincerely grateful for increases in your reality. If you appreciate it, it appreciates in your life. Nature always reveals opportunities for you to secure more of what you are genuinely thankful for. Only through experience can you confirm the truth of these words…
