Day Nine – Joy
Insane Courage exhibits the power of joy.
What if today was your last day on earth? Would you finish the last assignment on your desk at work? Would you allow traffic to stress you? Would you argue with your brother about who drove out all the gas in the car? Or would you do the things that brought you the most “joy.” Hands down if you are honest your last day would be filled with the things and people that bring you the most “joy.” At the end of the day you would leave this earth expelling the biggest belly laugh you had and with a smile on your face.
Insane Courage lives each day as if it is the last. Laugh loud, grin big and smile more. Choose to have joy in everything you do. Refuse to do anything if you do not have joy in doing it. Joy is a state of mind which only people with Insane Courage will dare exhibit. Joy is what drives many cancer patient’s cancer into remission. Choosing joy keeps families together in the darkest of storms. Joy kindles the fires of passion in your life.
People with Insane Courage to exhibit the power of joy are willing to embrace the principles to maintain joy. First you must have harmony in your life. This harmony is mind, body and soul working together to accomplish the goal of you living out your “best” life purpose. Secondly, you must have the Insane Courage to appreciate where you are in this stage of life. Accept that God knows exactly what He is doing and has not or will not make a mistake. Your God is so much bigger than your perceived dilemma. Thirdly, have realistic expectations. Sometimes you may have to break your big goals into smaller chucks. This makes it easier to obtain and keeps the passion of your joy full. Finally, enjoy the moment with unrehearsed abandonment. Laugh until you cry, play hard, live well just enjoy life.
I believe we are a part of the earth today in order to experience the joy of living. Not to live frivolously but to live wisely according to the plan God has given us for our “best” life purpose.
