Do you really know what causes you to feel joy? What gives you joy? The path of joy is the present path and the present moment. To be really joyful you have to be in the path of your higher purpose and expressing your higher purpose.

CENTRAL CORE
You have to touch base with your central being and magnetize to you all the things that align with this central core which is the inner you and the real you. Your core being and your soul are full of joy just as they are full of love. They are full of goodness too. Become more aware of your inner being throughout the day and connect with your soul often. As you do this you will become more aware of joy and draw in more joy.

FEEL THE JOY
There is treasure within – the treasures of joy, peace, wisdom and love. You should aim to touch these treasures within you every day.

CENTRAL CONNECTION
To connect you just need to close your eyes and breathe in to the infinite center of love within you. Feel the love and joy and let it grow and expand. You can do the same with peace and wisdom. You can also feel that you are connected with universal love, universal joy, universal peace and universal wisdom. As you open your eyes feel that you can keep these feelings. Frequently remind yourself of these treasures.

There is joy in your soul because your soul is joy. Can you feel it?
There is usually something joyful all around you. Can you appreciate it?
There is joy, mirth and merriment in places where you may have never noticed before. Uncover that inherent joy and you’ll appreciate a whole new level of joyfulness.
