Inventing joy.

What brings you joy?

Is there a story that stops you from doing those things? A narrative, some reasons (maybe excuses), the delays, the people, the rationalisation?

Do you want to invent another story, one that allows you to experience joy? Who'd be the hero of the story? What would the hero do?

Can you start doing what the hero would do? It might not be easy, but then that's what the hero is for.

If you keep doing what the hero in your story would do, you just might end up inventing joy.
