There is a simple path to enlightenment, one that’s easy to remember and it doesn’t require you to visit an ashram, or study ancient secrets.

It’s simply this - choose to enjoy your journey. But here’s the catch, you must really mean it.

For it’s easy to know joy when everything goes your way. But it’s not as effortless, when things aren’t flowing as well as you’d like.

Yet when you decide to be happy, regardless of outer circumstances, you come to realize that nothing external can bring you joy. The ability to thoroughly embrace your life, to be centered and at peace, comes from within. No situation, goal attained, or toy acquired, can do that for you.

It is a state of consciousness that lifts you up, and releases you from the self-imposed prison of worry, frustration and anger.

This doesn’t mean that you’ll never feel another emotion. Of course pay attention to what your guidance system is telling you. But rather than dwelling in emotions that don’t serve you, accept the wisdom of the moment, then choose to feel better.

Soon you will experience more joy and prosperity than you could possibly imagine. For you will undoubtedly expand that which you focus upon.

That’s why I say – enjoy your journey! For it’s far more important than the destination.

Your friend and partner in light,
