SUPERCHARGED: How To Discover the Joy of Living
The joy of living can only be found in living to give. The only way to live with joy and live in freedom from fear is to live to give. You shape your life by your every thought and word, which culminate in your actions.
The only way to permanently live in freedom from fear is to live to love, which is expressed in living to give. Focusing only on what you want, what you need, and what you feel will most benefit you are setting yourself up for pain, filled with the pangs of fear that deliver a miserable life. Get your mind off yourself and on loving and serving others to escape the trap of fear.
You live fully when you give your life away in meaningful ways. When you are upset and worried, when you lose your peace of mind, most of the time your focus is on yourself or what concerns you. When you get all caught up in yourself, you get consumed with fear. When you are always on your mind, you live in a shallow world.
The Way Out…
“The solution to a problem I had wrestled with for three solid months came to me when I completely forgot about my needs and became engrossed in finding a way to meet the needs of others.”
- Zig Ziglar.
The way out of your problem is to help someone else get out of theirs in whatever way you can. If you want to live out your dreams, help someone else fulfill his or her worthwhile dreams, and you will find the joy of living. Look around for needs you can meet, and you will attract a rewarding life.
In a bid to get more and care less for the welfare of others, we get more dissatisfaction from life and lose our peace and joy, and become plagued with fear.
A joyless life is a product of selfish living, and selfish living is at the root of fear.
Get your mind off yourself to blow the ceiling off your mind and ascend to new levels of possibilities in your contributions to life, and experience the joy of living.
Your evolution begins when you are involved in the lives of others.
Self-involvement produces revolving episodes. When you give your life away in meaningful ways, you drive away fear from your life. Therefore, when you learn how to give your life away in meaningful ways, you are learning how to drive fear away.
When you lose your joy, you are lost in self. When you get all caught up in yourself, you get caught up in fear and cut yourself off from the joy of living.
Always thinking about what you want or need and hardly noticing the many needs of others all around you is setting yourself up for a failing life.
Always going around dwelling on your problems is to always go astray, wailing with inner misery. When we meet other people’s needs in whatever way we can, we go in the way of living with meaning.
When you make it your mission to help make a difference in somebody’s life every day, you live with a difference, and your life becomes a reference for the joy of living.
To help ease somebody’s burden is to elevate your life. To cheer somebody up is to brighten your path.
To give somebody a fresh new hope is to reclaim your inner peace and joy.
The highest level of living is living to give – that’s where faith and love become the motivation and the state where you experience the joy of living.
