Find Your Joy

 I just watched The Bucket List starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. I was left with this thought resonating within me...

Find your joy!

How many of us lived the first half of our lives for others - You made choices to please your parents...

You didn't really fulfill your true dream in life because you thought it too impossible or too frivolous or too SOMETHING?

Are your children grown? Did you give them everything that you never had or, did you at least try to?

Did you not stray too far from home because you wanted to be nearby in case you were needed?

Were you really just too afraid to take a chance on yourself and your dreams?

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you into the best years of your life.

We are grown now. We don't need anyone's permission to live our best lives, except our own.

I believe that God gave us permission to be all that we could be when he sent us here. We have everything that we need to take the leap and to live.

For too long, I have stopped myself. I want my life back, don't you?

What if that excuse that you've been hiding behind was no longer an issue?

Guess what? It really isn't. Just as soon as you decide that it isn't. God has already given you permission. Now, permit YOURSELF.

What is it that you would REALLY like to do?

DO IT. Just. DO IT.

Right now. Write it down. Committ to do at least ONE THING toward the realization of it.

I absolutely want my life back. I stand in faith with you to retrieve YOURS.

Godspeed my friend.

Hugz,

NV

Yah, I just saw it too. Neet!
For me it pointed to finding that reality within myself that has deepest meaning. Not so much about doing, but about understanding what it is that brings ANY discomfort to my life and getting real with it. The age of reason brings the reason of forgiveness for me. And when I have forgiven a thot in my life it usually exposes another layer to look at and forgive.
The only barrier to this is my unwillingness.
Another thot it made clear is the value in life of life itself, the true value of our loving mind. For the truly Loving mind there is no loss in a death or passing of anyone. Perhaps our true mission may be to see and praise the life and living all around us in everyone. Maybe, True mind is Love and the thots it supports. All that is not Love is a dream, and therefore unreal; illusion. This works for me and heals me, my mind, which is what I am. My mind is my true identity because my mind can heal my body but my body cannot heal my mind. When I realize this everything changes and the universe changes direction and flows toward me with Loving forgiveness. What I see is chosen by my true mind and I will recieve the same as I have decided to see and give in the world. Every good movie, every life story reflects this. There is no loss now because Love cannot die. It is only shared with all. The Love shared by the Loving mind remains in the true minds of all beings, just as it was exemplified by our brother, J.C. How cool is that?
I was ready to receive this realization for everyone
