The 7 Habits of Highly Joyful People!!!
“Joy delights in Joy”
-William Shakespeare
Hello all.
I just got finished reading Stephen Covey’s very helpful and useful book the 7 habits of Highly Effective people. In this book I have personally found very useful and practical tools to include into my repertoire. Such ideas such as Inside-Out approach, and the value of an interdependent way of living truly resonated with me. I can definitely begin implementing some of the ideas that I resonated with in my daily life with effectiveness.
In honor of Stephen Covey’s great book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, I have compiled a list of my 7 Habits of Highly Joyful People. This is a post written by a person that needs no credibility other than the fact that I live a Highly Joyful life. If that isn’t credible enough, look through my past blogs and notice the consistency of the words I’ve written. Look into how in alignment my posts have been with the overall theme of living a beyond successful life. What I write about is what I live. I am confident with how in alignment what I write about on here, is mirroring my daily life. I’m a joyful person, clearly giving you for free the 7 habits of joyful people directly from me, a joyful person.
Below are the 7 Habits of Highly Joyful People:
Habit #1 : Highly joyful people remain in the present moment.
The first habit that joyful people have in common is that they understand the power of the present moment. They choose to be in the here and now, and work from this space of awareness. They understand that the only way to be at peace and joy is to be in the present moment.
Habit # 2: Highly joyful people do what they love.
It is very easy for someone who hates what she does for a living, to slip into non joyful states of being. Imagine 8-9 hours doing things that don’t bring out your true nature, and feeling stuck. This is why people that continue to do what they love, are joyful most of the time. They don’t have much to complain about because what they do most of the day is already bringing them inner joy. Regardless of the challenges that come their way, they do what they love so they have the staying power to overcome the challenges.
Habit # 3: Highly Joyful People allow good things to come.
They are good allowers. They don’t block the good flow that comes to them, by thinking it’s impossible. When good things come to them they accept it and allow it in. They intend for good to flow to them and they are excellent at receiving it. They know the deserve the best, and live that way. They don’t resist the good that flows into their life, rather they honor their unlimited abundant nature to serve them well.
Habit # 4: Highly Joyful People continually focus on what they want.
They understand the power of their thoughts. They look for thoughts that uplift them and keep them in a positive place. This means that they spend very little time watching television programs of a negative vibration, and spend very little time with negative people that complain frequently. They understand that there energy is sacred and to be honored, and they pull themselves out of negative states easily, by using positive affirmations and thinking in positive ways that work. They choose to focus on positive things because they know they are creating their reality with their thoughts. They understand that what they focus on expands.
Habit # 5: Highly Joyful People are grateful for life.
Joyful people maintain an attitude of gratitude. They understand the power of being thankful for all that comes into their life. They even understand the need to be grateful for even the not so great events, because they see it all as a lesson to grow from and improve.
They understand that being grateful in the good things in their life, allows more good to flow into their life.
Habit # 6: Highly Joyful People contribute in a positive way to society.
Highly joyful people make a practice of continually making a positive difference in the lives of people. They understand that the more they serve others, the better they feel. This cycle of giving and receiving is fully understood by the highly joyful individual, and they enjoy this process of continually finding creative ways to make a positive contribution to society.
Habit # 7: Highly Joyful People are constantly learning new things each day.
These joyful people know that there is always something new to learn. They honor their ability to learn new things on a daily basis. They understand that learning new things in life never ends, and they are always gathering new information. They thirst new knowledge, and take joy in constant learning.
With Joy,
