Finding Certainty: "J" is for Joy

Every month in 2024, as you know if you've been following our show, I take a break from having guests on Finding Certainty to share my personal thoughts on a specific topic. We’re making our way through 26 principles, one for each letter of the alphabet, and this month we’re at “J.” I've decided to discuss the topic of Joy … something I think most of us would love to experience more of. Joy, in many respects, an outgrowth of Certainty and of the previous topics we’ve been discussing. It’s also a catalyst for them too, though. Which comes first, right? The chicken or the egg or, in this case, Certainty or Joy? Joy is an experienced and a characteristic that can be elusive if you’re not careful, but so much of it depends on us and our minds. What we think of it, how we define it, and how we FIND it are all fair game during today’s Certainty discussion. In today’s monologue, I’ll share why joy is so crucial, explore how it touches every area of our lives (or, can, if we’ll let it), and offer a few personal stories and lessons as usual that I’ve learned along the way. I’ve experienced some great examples in my life and learned, the hard way at times, how to protect and fortify the joy in my life. During the show, we'll talk about the secrets to finding more joy–how to find it, develop it, maintain it, and retain it. Like all of these topics, joy is something I’m working on daily, striving to improve and grow.
