TOO MUCH FUN


BY
connecting with that
which brings JOY
to another

we connect
with their JOY
and increase
JOY for our SELF


It may be difficult for us to accept the fact that it is GOD’S DESIRE for us to be altogether JOYFUL.  Amidst a world of pain and suffering, how can we actually believe it’s OK to walk around bleeding HAPPINESS?  And yet, that is GOD’S WILL for us.

The dynamic of this TRUTH has broad implications, from seemingly “important” issues such as career choices, down to whatever we happen to be doing in the moment.  The source of the JOY really doesn’t matter.

In the world, “doing” means everything; to GOD, not so much.  To the world, which has ranked and categorized all activities into complicated hierarchies, the importance of doing is almost everything.  To GOD, the state of mind in which the doing takes place is what counts; a happy dishwasher will trump a miserable CEO any day.

The easiest way to have the time of our life and to keep a smile on our face, is to look for opportunities to connect with JOY in others, and, thereby, increase it for our self.  Once again, it doesn’t matter what it is.

Connecting with a happy dog who is walking his JOYFUL owner is easy pickins’.
Commenting on a sport-jersey worn by an excited fan is a no-brainer.
Joking with someone about bringing you dinner as they carry a pizza is easy money.
One cannot have too much fun when opportunities abound.

All it takes is a desire to connect, an awareness that extends, and we might even end up with a slice of pizza.
