“The loving parts of your personality are content, grateful, patient, appreciative, caring, and more. They are interested in others. They do not judge others or themselves. They are not confined by fear.
The more you experience them, the more you experience joy. When you experience them continually, you experience joy continually.
Awe of a sunset, sunrise, the ocean, a mountain, the beauty of another soul, the tenderness of a touch, and the warmth of a smile undistorted by fear are experiences of joy.
Joy is knowing why you are alive and being grateful to be living. It is fulfillment in the present moment without end. The Universe sings with joy, and when you free yourself from the frightened parts of your personality you join the song.”
