Start a joy journal

You may think that you will never be able to write very much in it, because you don’t always have joys to record.
But that’s not necessarily the idea. If you have joys to record, by all means, do so, but the journal can also be used to find joy within yourself through the writing, journaling process. We can make ourselves happy or sad with our thoughts. In your journal, be courageously creating thought scenarios that please you, uplift you, deepen your appreciation for the happy moments in your life. Create happy moments in your imagination. What would make you happy and joyful? What wholesome activity lightens your mood, elicits gratitude for the events, situations, people and things in your life that are sources of joy.
What you do in the privacy of your joy journal will transform your public life. You can create a new self that is proof against an offense, resistant to anger, a master of moods, and a mindful self-motivator, able to seize decisive opportunities in the struggle of life to find happiness, peace, and prosperity.
Again and again, we can make that creative plunge into the words of our own creation that will give us the inspiration and the strength to persevere, even after repeated setbacks, and difficulties designed to test our patience and trust. We can with perseverance and relentless effort push forward with the desire to overcome everything and anything that stands in the way of our desire to create a better life for ourselves. We will with unparalleled determination, resolve not to let circumstances get us down, not to become a victim. We can with faith in an inner divine spirit, look forward to imagining a time when the best and greatest life is just a manner of clearly defining it in words, on the screen. Whatever can be imagined can be realized, and sometimes it takes a thorough vision. Whatever is not perfect about the life you want, change its characteristics in your mind to be greater than any obstacles, problems or difficulties standing in the way of having a satisfactory future.
Imagine yourself as the ultimate hero, able, capable, prepared for any and all problems, able to elicit the help and aid of superhuman powers, divine support, and angelic reinforcements when you need them.
You know you can be victorious. You need never give up using the thesaurus or dictionary to rewrite your story, your life. Your being will respond to the possibility of miracles. Grab a hold of the idea that all difficulties can be overcome, and its just a matter of time before your insistent barrage of positive belief will allow you to break through the barriers and reap the success that you have so diligently and carefully designed, engineered and manifested.
