Enjoy the Journey
“There is a tendency to feel yourself rushed, in other
words, ‘we have very little time for this.’ And that,
above all things, takes the joy out of your journey, doesn’t
it?” – Abraham-Hicks
One of the most life-enhancing abilities we can develop is the process
of enjoying the journey. We want so much to be living the reality
we seek that we sometimes forget that Life IS the Journey and
the Journey IS Life.
Do It For The Joy. The French call it joie de vivre –
the joy of living. The Italians express it as nienta sense gioia
– nothing without joy. To the Greeks, it’s kefi –
the spirit of joy, passion, enthusiasm, high spirits. Whatever you’re
doing, do it for the joy.
Have you developed the habit of postponing joy? Years ago, I became
aware of a strong tendency to postpone joy and, since then, have
been slowly but surely reprogramming myself to enjoy the moment.
One particular incident where I was busily not enjoying the journey
was so excruciating that I swore it would be the last time. Trying
to meet a deadline, I reverted to my old programming. I turned off
my Emotional Guidance System and made completing the project more
important than enjoying my life. I tuned out the warning that I
was in a state of resistance, completely forgetting that resistance
always means resistance to Well-Being.
The result was that I felt tense, exhausted and irritable –
and the project didn’t even go well. I took it as a wake-up
call and a reminder that, if I’m not listening to my guidance
system, it is amazingly easy to wander away from Well-Being and
end up far from where I want to be. The discomfort of that experience
got my attention and, believe me, I now focus on enjoying each precious
moment of my Life.
Every Moment Can Be Joyful. As you set your intention to
align with Source at every moment, the specific activity you’re
engaged in does not matter so much. Every activity is delightful
when you align with Well-Being. As you set your intention to take
pleasure and satisfaction from each moment, you’ll find yourself
enjoying the journey of your Life, enjoying the process of unfolding,
staying excited and engaged along the path.
We tend to ignore the fact that there will always be a gap between
where we are and where we want to be. As such, it’s wise
to learn to enjoy the journey between here and there. Where you
are now is a steppingstone to where you want to go next. And, when
you reach that place, it too will be a steppingstone to where you
want to go from there. Each steppingstone leads to the next great
adventure and off you grow again.
“Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not
in finishing an activity but in doing it.” – Greg Anderson
Be Happy Right Here Right Now. In my opinion, the best way
to live is to be happy with where you are and, at the same time,
eagerly and optimistically anticipate the thrill of the next great
adventure. Start enjoying the manifestation of your desire even
before it has materialized, confident that whatever you desire is
on its way to you. Do this and you’ll enjoy the journey as
much as the manifestation.
As a Master of the Universe, you can enjoy every moment of your
journey between here and there with joyous anticipation of the next
great adventure. As Abraham-Hicks teaches – if you’re
not feeling good, if you’re not having fun, if you’re
not enjoying the journey, you’re really missing the point
of being here. So, from this moment on, make a strong intention
to Enjoy the Journey!
