Many of you are desiring more joy in your lives but you can’t figure out how to get there from where you are. Sometimes it can be difficult to make a large vibrational leap from the energy you are in to where you would like to be. If that is the case, it is wise to use stepping stones, and the stepping stone on the way to joy is satisfaction.
We highly recommend you start to pay attention to any ways you experience satisfaction in your life. It could be something as simple as lighter traffic one day making your commute easier. It could be seeing a parking space open up for you in a busy parking lot. It could be a delicious meal, or rain coming at the perfect time to water your garden. It could be the comfort of your favourite sweater, or breathing in fresh air, or your morning coffee, or the convenience of electricity and running water. Just pay attention to all the little things in life that are satisfying for you.
Once you start to consciously look for and identify what is satisfying you, you naturally shift into gratitude. When you combine satisfaction and gratitude the most amazing alignment happens, and this opens the door to moments of pure presence and joy. Do you see? You can take incremental steps towards your desired state of being, just like you can tune into a radio station, by using your wisdom to find and appreciate the stepping stones that lead you where you wish to go. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
