Find the joy

There is always a point when we only go through the motions of life. Whatever your life is, there is a pattern taken up and used day after day. It's our routine, and our way of doing things. It's the way we have settled in to getting through whatever we need to do, in order to keep doing what we are doing. Sometimes that routine isn't really the best way or even a good way to do things, but it's what we do and is comfortable because we are used to doing it that way. Many times we know it isn't a good way to do things but continue because we don't want to think about having to make it better or different. There is a level of fear that comes with change. There is the 'what if' factor.

And what if those routines and patterns are working well? What happens when you find yourself in a position where all those patterns and routines you put into place are moving you toward where you want to go? You might be surprised to find there can still be that feeling of going through the motions.

When it all comes down to it, we are all searching for the best way to be happy. We all are doing things to lead us to that wonderful place. We do them the right way, the wrong way, the best way, and every other way we can think of doing them. Sometimes we have to do things the wrong way to get them right. But we need to remember to put aside the fear and all the 'what if's' and connect with the joy that is already inside each of us. It isn't a destination, a wonderful place to get to, but something we have the ability to find at any point in time if we decide to connect to it. It can make all the ugly, bad, and good routines that much better. It can make that moment happen right now.

I must be finished with my thoughts. The washer just played a tune that it's done and I need to move the towels into the dryer.  Connect to the joy you already have inside.  I bet you'll smile the next time you're doing whatever your doing.  Even laundry.
