How would you feel if you won the lottery of life? Imagine if you had ever-increasing wealth, a beautiful relationship, an amazing family, excellent health, an amazing career, and ultimate joy, purpose, and meaning. You can have all of that, and more, if you master one simple secret of happiness: Joyful Optimism. In our latest Love University Podcast, you will learn how to tap into the magic of Joyful Optimism to develop an expectation of the best and an upwardly spiraling confidence and hope that never fails. Listen, as we continue with the story of Harry, the pompous psychiatrist, and Tanaka, the wise martial arts master and teacher of life, as Harry (and you) learn the ultimate secret for joy and excellence: Joyful Optimism. Here is some of the life-changing wisdom we learned:
*Joyful optimism comes from the Higher Nature (God/spirit/nature). The Higher Nature is the part of you—some call it God, spirit, nature—that wants the best for you. When you access the power of the Higher Nature, you will have an unalterable sense of well-being and contentment that tells you everything is going to be all right. With optimism, you have the absolute knowledge that you will receive all of the bountifulness that the Universe has to offer. You no longer worry about your life—you simply enjoy everything the Higher Nature has provided for you.
*Optimism comes from partaking in the true authentic pleasures of life. Experience the small things that bring you natural joy and happiness. These may include communing with nature, spending quality time with family and good friends, playing with animals and children, making love while being in love, doing work you love, meditating, praying, and connecting with the Higher Nature—creating, laughing, and loving. Whatever gives you natural and authentic pleasure is the key to your perpetual joy and optimism.
*Try this exercise: See yourself as a small, joyful child again. Imagine yourself having the same face, hands, feet, and body you had as a child. Now imagine that you’re going to fill that child’s heart (your heart) with joy unimaginable. Think of all the enthusiasm, love, playfulness, and spontaneity you have observed and experienced in the world, and imagine that this child, this YOU, has all of this wonder, passion, and spontaneity in your heart. Now carry this spirit of joyful optimism with you everywhere you go. Share it with others as you help increase their joy as well.
It’s a rock solid truth: When you have Joyful optimism in your heart, you will not lack anything. You will have joy, peace, and success for the rest of your life.
