The MOON – 4/5/15:
Always enjoy in the moment or stop doing what you are doing. We are telling you that all things have the potential to bring joy; you need to find it. When the end result is joyous, is it possible that each step can bring joy?
Questions to Ponder:
What allows you to feel joy: external and/or internal influences? Is it possible to find joy while tending to obligations and circumstances you had previously thought to be laborious and lacking in joy?
So often we don’t live in the now, we worry about how past events are shaping the future and what is going on with our lives in a month’s time. Such a simple thing that the moon is saying to us but ultimately unless we focus hard on the hear and now, we find years have slipped by. I have a tedious job but being outside I try to do simple things like take in the beauty of plants and for many years worked indoors so I have an appreciation of the freedom my job brings. Sometimes it’s the little things in life that bring you joy.
Doing something that we really “enjoy” allows us to stay in the moment so when we do return to the “nose to the grind stone stuff,” we can bring that joyful charge with us. Noticing the beauty around and “stopping to smell the roses” (literally) are the little things, as you stated, that can bring us those moments of joy….ever-leading us to more.
