"You have been oriented that you must pay a price in order to get somewhere, and in the process, you’ve come to believe that getting there must be really important, therefore, it must be your purpose. And we say, but if you’re not getting to joy, then you’ve gotten nowhere. Joy is really where you’re going." Abraham

Life is a never ending cycle of arriving, then desiring, then arriving again, but if we do not factor in joy, then the alternative is struggle, and life was never meant to be a struggle. What gives you joy and pleasure? If nothing too much is feeding that right now, then reach for something, even if a memory, that kindles joy and stay there as long as you can. This process seems to infect our whole journey and everything looks brighter. Reach for things to appreciate and then consciously be aware of even the slightest glimmering of joy, for this is our very purpose. The Universe is not founded on struggle and pain, providing us with hoops through which to jump in order to satisfy some standard we don't even understanding. It is founded on joy.
