Joy is the Whole Point
from The Coherence Channel: Personal Growth, Awareness, and Life Transitions · host Lisa Elley
We’ve been told to earn joy, to finish the to-do list first, to hit the milestone, to prove we deserve it. But what if joy isn’t the reward? What if it’s the fuel?In this episode, I talk about why joy is the most natural navigation system we have, and how birds model it perfectly. Pelicans fly sideways. Canadian geese honk loudly in the sky. Cockatoos dance. Peacocks strut. They don’t apologize, they don’t wait for permission, and neither should you.You’ll hear a simple 24-hour experiment to help you find your own version of flying, plus a reminder that the point was never to get it all right. The point… was always joy.
