Find Joy with Joyan

Happiness is sold to us as the icing on the cake and therefore we see so many people who treat their own happiness just like another thing in their to-achieve-list. They believe getting what they want will finally make them happy.

I remember reading a line on a book and it says happiness is not a destination, it’s a state of mind. We don’t pursue happiness because all the happiness and joy that we could ever hope for is already here in the present moment. It’s our state of mind and our way of being.

The truth is, we don’t need anything outside ourselves to be happy. When we are looking for happiness in the outside world, we are bound to be disappointed when those expectations aren't met.

In this episode, I will share with you a short story that changes my perception of happiness and if you want to know how to instantly increase your level of happiness and sense of fulfilment, tune in and listen now!

Mid-year check in! I feel that it's important to look back at the past 6 months and check in with yourself - where are you in your life right now? How are you doing? Do you still remember what are the goals you've set for yourself in the beginning of the year? Are you still working towards making them happen? As we embark on our journey to the second half of 2021, take some time to plan, reflect and answer the question, "What do I want my next 6 months be like? Where do I see myself at the end of 2021?"

If you need a kick to start off the second half of 2021 with the right mindset, and you want to make the best out of it, this episode is for you!

We often put up a façade, or an image in the form of showing only our best edited self as a means to be liked and accepted by others. And the only reason why we do that is because we think showing our true authentic self is unacceptable and we learned this in our childhood. We associate our true self with vulnerability and we think we will get hurt, rejected or abandoned.

Discovering who you are at the core is a process, and the goal is never to make yourself a final product or perfection. All done tweaking and changing and then you are finally perfect.⁠ No.⁠ You are a process, not a product. Your job is just to go through the process of growing and becoming. But you still won't be perfect, because it isn't about perfection. It is about authenticity.

In a world where we are busy celebrating other people's highlight reels, you are a success if you show up as your real, true authentic self. Because you cannot fail at being yourself.⁠ If you feel like you don't even know who you are anymore beneath all the layers you are wearing, if you'd like to reconnect to your true authentic self and awaken the self that lies deep within you, this episode is for you!

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Do you feel like you don't even know who you are and why you are even here? Have you ever woke up in the middle of the night and can't breathe because of this unbearable lack of something inside you? Or waking up in the morning only wishing that you don't have one?

In life, everyone experiences moments like these. When we are hitting rock bottoms, walking alone in the tunnel not seeing any sign of lights, facing our biggest fears, feeling absolutely lost and directionless. So how do we find the strength and courage to pull us through the dark moments in life when all we want to do is giving up? 

It's pain. When you have had enough of pain. When you reached a threshold of pain where you finally said NO MORE. No more living life this way, enough is enough! That is how you have your breakthroughs. Breakthrough is either triggered by excitement or absolute pain. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is a choice. At any given moment, you can change your life completely by making a different choice. Do you choose to continue suffer? Or do you choose to thrive? You are truly one decision away from a completely different life. 

What if life is always happening for you, not to you? I know it feels like it has always been going against you, but you will find the meaning and purpose when you are free from the pain. If you are searching for an answer, if you'd like to awaken your power deep within your soul, if you'd like to wake up to your courageous, true and authentic self, this episode is for you!
