Talk about joys of life for a change

Talk about joys of life for a change

Just imagine someone tells you list out those things in life which give you immense joys, what are those things you will write down? Like you enjoy waking up late on a Sunday morning, the sunlight is so bright it shines through the window. You wake up to see your room in a light yellow color. Best is when your mother lying next to you, or any of your loved ones. The first rain after a dry spell. It was hot, humid. The trees were dying, the grass could not get any more dead. And then all of sudden, it rains.

Your first cup of coffee in the morning. The feeling you get after an intense, killer workout. The graduation day when you received your first degree. Especially when all your hard work are paid off, you are in the Dean's list or you are finally graduated. You think of your parents, you are glad that they have always been supporting and be there for you to this very last day.

To feel like standing on the top of the world. Any summit, any tall building, any cliff, or even parachuting. It feels awesome. You can seize the world on your hands, your vision is infinite. To fall in love, your first crush responding to you and your first date with her and your first kiss when in love. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed.

You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.

Settling into a rhythm of life. The moment I transition from aware of the world to what people call flow state is one of my favorite feelings. Writing tends to be a lonely endeavor, but it allows me to put on some blinders and make some real progress on my daily goals. The feeling of accepting the world will go on without me, but digging into my work anyway makes my toes tingle most days. And once I’m fully focused, I find a rhythm within the writing, which means I’m producing up to 3x as much if I were to remain aware of the world around me.

Accomplishing the daily goal and having a drink in the evening with your loved one. Setting and achieving daily goals gets me excited, and I tend to have a solo dance party when I cross the finish line. An even better feeling is when I meet my daily goal early and have the choice to do more work or call it a day. If I’m in a rhythm, I tend to do more work, because the work is what makes me happy.

Dinner with loved ones, home made simple dinner with the family. After a productive day at the keyboard, I like to try and spend time with family and friends. The whole goal is to reconnect with reality as often as possible. The joyous feeling of knowing there is a group of people in this world who love me unconditionally is invaluable to my success as an individual. The opportunity to converse and appreciate them is also another highlight.

Playing the long game and I used to hate looking more than about a week ahead of my schedule, because what’s the point? That’s a lot of opportunity to grow and impact others in impacting others. One of the top three reasons I write is to impact others. I do my best to enhance or enrich other people’s lives. When I get a comment, an email, or even a private message telling me that my words made someone’s life a fraction of a percent better, it energizes me to write another week’s worth of words.

I find happiness within myself, and I use it to produce creatively. Then that creativity impacts others, which then prompts them to contact me on a positive note. This is what I call a positive feedback loop. I find immense amounts of joy in this loop, because we aren’t in this alone. We are in this together. One species. One planet. One life. Let’s make it count and share the joy.

When you were a child, did you ever have the experience of having made something special or having saved your money and purchased something special for one of your parents, and you were so excited to give it to them that you could hardly stand it. And how did you feel when your parent received your gift with joy and excitement. You might have felt a wonderful fullness in your heart This is an experience of sharing love.

Being together with someone, feeling safe, and sharing love energetically from open hearts – even without words – is without a doubt the most fulfilling experience in life. Getting love doesn't compare to the joy of sharing love. When your intent is to love yourself and others and to learn about any blocks to love, then your heart is open and the gift of love enters your heart. This is when you can share love. The more you practice Inner Bonding, the more you develop the neural pathways in your brain for being an open, spiritually connected loving adult. This is what allows you to share love.

Inner Bonding will more often make you able to keep your heart open to learning and loving, and the more often you are able to share love with others whose hearts are also open – and experience the greatest joy in life! The greatest joys of life are the joys about which we don't even give a thought. These are the joys which are nothing when we are having them but we understand the value of those joys later in life.

And as time passes the value of those joys increases, it keeps on increasing till you are no more. For instance talking to or seeing your loved ones whom you talk and see daily doesn't feel a greater joy than going to Disney land until you can't see and talk to them again.

If you love someone like your mother, brother or partner and you talks and see them daily then you won't consider talking to them and seeing them as the greatest joys. But if, unfortunately, someone you love dies and you miss them then only you'll feel how joyful it was to talking to him/her. How to joyful it was to be in his/her presence. You'll reject thousands of offer to go to Disney land or some other fancy land for the joy of talking and feeling your loved ones, the joy you can't feel again no matter what you give, what you do or what you don't.

The greatest joys can't be bought with money but free. And the intriguing thing about the greatest joys of life is that all individuals are having them, the poor, the middle, the knowns and unknowns, the upper, they just don't know. They know what was the greatest joy when they can't feel it anymore and when they feel it, they are willing to give their everything to just feel that joy again, once more.

Therefore guys always feel your life, no matter what you are going through just feel the things going around or with you. When you are so sad, so happy or even feeling normal just think what you'll miss about this moment 5 years or 10 years later. Think that in your downs and ups and you'll know how grateful you are. You'll know what you should do in this moment so that you'll not regret years after. Stay blessed! #kishoreshintre #possessedbywritingspirit
