Joy

Coromandel, New Zealand

Life seems so oppressive sometimes. It seems as though it is working against us. Sometimes the smallest thing will bring us to rage or depression. Life seems pointless and we are filled with frustration and hopelessness.

There is an escape from this belief system. It is a cliche, but it is also true. The answer lies within. Our natural state is joy. We can access our natural state of joy by shedding our beliefs about what we think life is. When we fearlessly surrender our thoughts and bring our attention to the present moment without judgment, we find peace, love and joy. It is not something that we have to look for because it is what we are.

Let's surrender to joy.
