Joy is our birthright. Claim it!

Several months ago, I witnessed a beautiful person take his life.

We all witnessed a successful, wealthy, well-known woman do the same a couple of weeks ago.

And right after, another famous and seemingly purposeful man did the same.

We all see that this phenomenon transcends gender and possessing family, money, fame, and even clear directions in life. It is evident no external factor can guarantee to perpetually actualize the “inherent joy” we house within ourselves (we can recognize that transient and conditional happiness is not the same and not enough.)

Also, taking chemicals did not help with my beloved acquaintance.

Life is tough…. really tough. Whoever says otherwise must be a devout practicing monk!!! But if we intend to figure this life/joy thing out, we can.

This does not mean living in the constant state of ecstasy; it means we have a place to come back when we lose our way which is NOWHERE BUT WITHIN.

Unfortunately, although we have access to this “inner joy” at all times, we barely access it. Why? Because we did not learn how to. Why? Simply because our caregivers did not know either, and importantly, the omnipresent “system” does not benefit from happy healthy individuals!!!!

Fortunately, there is a new wave of consciousness in our world. Let’s ride it! Let’s brave the path!

Just know it will most probably not going to be an easy journey. Why? Because we have to UNLEARN all the fear-based and lack-based agendas we were instilled since we laid our eyes on the human world, and create ourselves ANEW.

It will not be easy, but it is SOOOOOO worth it. Merely winging life is NOT so ideal.

Where to start? We simply need to become aware of our deep desire to access this “inner joy”… to know it… to feel it…

The Universe will conspire to answer our request. We will be directed to places to manifest this desire. To do this we certainly need to gain some knowledge from the plethora of resources available to us (thanks to technology.) The good news is that as soon as we embark on the journey, we will be led by our inner wisdom to find the next resource.

It’s time to wake up. It’s time to truly believe that HAPPINESS IS AN INSIDE JOB. Buddhists call this “unconditional happiness”.

It’s time to release the victimhood mentality and take charge of our wellbeing.

We should not give our power to people and circumstances to rip us off of our inner peace and knowingness.

Simply ask to know and you WILL know. While God/Universe is benevolent, we should not forget the power of FREE WILL. We have this power within us whether we like it or not.

Whether we like it or not, WE ARE THE SOLE RESPONSIBLE PARTY in our life. We should release all expectations and take charge of our welfare. The sooner, the better.

Declare your intention to claim your birthright to live in joy, and in the meantime, be vigilant of the sneaky, unconscious fear-thinking. Rise above them. This is merely a matter of AWARENESS.

Sometimes, simply observing the fears will dissipate their destructive power. Make them conscious, and they lose authority. Question them. Disarm them. You are the commander of your life.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” ― C.G. Jung
