One thing that I can get pretty passionate about is this whole idea of being able to live life from a place of delight and joy rather than from a place of drudgery and misery.

I’m not sure what the latest stats are, but some of the last ones I saw said that over 80-85% of people in the work force are disengaged. In other words, they show up to do just enough to get the paycheck that keeps them alive, but their hearts are definitely not in what they are being paid for.

That is just wrong on so many fronts!

When did we allow ourselves to get into that kind of mess?

We do know some of the whys. Too many of our school and education systems and our workplaces have been designed to make us yes-people who will do as they are told, instead of teaching us how to learn and grow into all that we are meant to be and do.

The result is that one of our most powerful assets as human beings – our ability to create, to solve problems, to innovate, to envision new possibilities – has been severely limited. In doing that, we have lost our ability to live true to who we are, we have lost the one thing more than any other that gives us a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment, and of delight and joy. I will share more in another post about this unique asset that each of us came equipped with – that thankfully we can do a lot to restore.

Besides just the work situation, there is also the poor way that we use our most powerful asset – our mind! When you start to understand just what an incredible gift we have been given in our brains and minds – when they are used as they are meant to be used – it will blow your mind!

The more I have learned about how our minds and bodies are meant to work, the more I have realized that we are designed to live in joy and delight – we do not operate well in negativity and misery. So we need to learn how to give ourselves joy and delight – and that can make a world of difference!

So look for a lot more about Delight in the days to come!

To discovering the delight of living YOUR Best Life,
