Set joy free

There is great joy within you. Yet all too often your thoughts can keep that joy hidden away.

Most of the judgments to which you devote your thoughts do not serve any useful purpose. Worries, resentments, and angry thinking will bring you nothing of real value, and will push joy further away from your awareness.

Let go of those toxic thoughts and allow the joy that’s hiding underneath them to shine through. Let go of the need to judge and to strive, and make room in your awareness for joy.

Joy is easy and natural and not something you must struggle for or force. It has been there all along, and will flow easily from you when you allow it.

Let your thoughts benefit from joy instead of using those thoughts to cover up that joy. Allow your actions to be more focused and effective by allowing your own unique joy to be expressed through them.

Set free the joy in your life by letting go of the negativity that you don’t need anyway. Set your joy free and let it fill your world.

— Ralph Marston
