AP 080: JOY || How You Can Cultivate Joy Regardless of Your Circumstances

"Joy [is] a spiritual way of engaging with the world that's connected to practicing gratitude." ~Brene Brown   If you've been working on happiness, get ready to up-level it to JOY.    Joy is different than happiness. It's deeper and more eternal in nature and effect. It's earned through opposition. It's chosen and cultivated. And when the going REALLY gets tough, the good news is that "joy" will be there for us.   In this episode, we go deep in discussing why joy is different and longer lasting than happiness, and how we can choose it by focusing on:   1) Keeping Perspective 2) Being Present 3) Maintaining a Practice of Gratitude   Show Notes Daring Greatly by Brene Brown (affiliate amazon link) Last week's episode with Paul Cardall, Kenz Hall, and Charley Jenkins:  Worth Of Souls Project--where you can get the album, find out more about it and the project, and explore resources. PLEASE SHARE IT!
