circumstance and superficial joy

Date written: January 2013

placing yourself into the foreground of your own life is the first step to living as you always picture. sacrifice, discipline, and self love.

no matter what happens, understand that there is no bad. many times we look for joy in superficial and outward ways, failing to appreciate true joy which is inner comfort that can only come from an intimate relationship with God or the Universe. whichever works for you. we often let things that are not forever provide us with circumstantial and superficial joy. we allow material and people to provide us with happiness but what happens when these things that provided all of this happiness, are gone? what happens when they fail to provide the happiness they once did? do we give this material that used to cause so much happiness away, or let the person provide happiness for someone who will more appreciate it. however, as humans, we tend to hoard. some hoard outwardly, such as trashy homes and things of that nature. others hoard inwardly, such as emotions and feelings that we once had that we don't want to let go; memory. we put that old sweater that we loved 20 years ago into storage, forgetting about it. or we hold onto a person through a situation that we know should be thrown away, regardless of perceived love for said person.  what happens when you lose your dream job or the home you just purchased or the girl that you thought would always love you? where has your joy went?

God, the universe, you inner Self...whatever you believe is the existent connector to infinite...is the inly entity, thing, person that can provide true joy. don't let outward circumstance provide inner joy, because when it flees, you will be left empty.
