Joy--Where does it Come from?

Joy is your natural birthright and here you learn how to free joy to flow again. In this talk, at the French countryside, Kambiz Naficy describes joy and where it arises from. 

•  Your inborn, natural state is joy; this is why young children are joyous and a source of joy.
• Joy comes from connecting with your authentic Self— your truth, your voice, your inspiration are where you will find joy.
• Following your uniqueness will bring you joy. Self-love and self-respect create inner-joy.
• Joy comes from living in the present moment.
• Anxiety and worry are kill-joys. Come to the moment and worry disappears.
• Dropping your emotional baggage and cleansing your subconscious of past negativity will create joy.
• As you cleanse your negativity, you take big action with big results. Progress creates joy.
• Your joyful self has always been there, you just need to dust off past negativity that has settled on your joyful self.
• Joy is the opposite of fear. Love is the opposite of fear; when you love, fear disappears and joy returns once again.
• Sharing is love and sharing your life creates joy for yourself and others.
• Finding and following Dharma, your life-purpose, brings joy because you are not conflicted when following your most natural path.
• Reverence, gratefulness, and appreciation of those around you, brings joy.
• Trust in a Higher Self and Higher Force that guide you, always brings deep joy.
