Find the Good

It’s easy to get weighed down by the challenges we face personally and collectively.

We can’t ignore difficult things, but we should also not forget what is going well.

I have found it very useful to be open to what is going well, such as a good health report, or a successful project, and to allow myself to take in and experience moments of joy. When I allow myself to face the negative and be nourished by beauty and what is good, I feel alive, have more energy, and see more possibilities.

For instance, I make a conscious effort to appreciate the beauty of a young family enjoying a meal with their toddler. I take a moment to admire the vibrant leaves on the trees and engage in a meaningful conversation with a loved one. These simple yet beautiful moments, amid life’s challenges, remind me to appreciate life and be grateful.

I am also nourished by seeing people help neighbors, collect food and resources for people in need, and take action to make a difference for others.

It is valuable to be open to the essence of joy in us and allow this to flourish amid the rhythm of life.

So, I encourage you to find the good in your life, no matter how small, and allow yourself to experience moments of joy. I wish you JOYBeing- the joy of being.
