What Are Happiness & Joy? A Breakthrough Epiphany
For years, I’ve been reflecting on one simple—but deeply elusive—question:
What are happiness and joy?
I thought I understood it.
I wrote about it.
I lived around it.
But I hadn’t reached the root.
As 2026 began, a moment of deep presence delivered an unexpected truth—
happiness and joy aren’t something you find.
It’s something you become when you stop abandoning yourself.
I shared the full reflection here 👇
If you’ve ever felt like you were running in circles with your self work and personal development, filling in the branches and leaves—but missing the root—this may resonate.
What If?
What if I told you that 2025 is meant to be the year that you are liberated? The year that you can set yourself free to be exactly who you are? So many experiences throughout life try to thwart that inclination- familial dynamics, society's fabrics, and "rules" created by communities' norms whether cultural, race and gender related, or religious.
The truly ultimate in happiness and bliss is exercising your free will.
Everyone Has A Divine Spark...It's A Choice To Embrace & Live It
I strongly believe that everyone has the divine within them; they simply need to make a conscious and subconscious choice to tap into it. If you think about it, the highest vibration commences when you are operating out of authenticity and unconditional love. And as such, your divine self is much easier to access, embrace, and live.
Often operating out of your most authentic self is hard given our life experiences. The learning and experiences have sometimes shaped “hard wired programming” into our brains that are hard to navigate around, or in some cases, even be able to self-identify. In fact, those that have experienced the hardest struggle with embracing leading by example, sharing their stories and lessons. At their core, those who have healed from difficult experiences and choose to overcome embedded programming are the ones who carry the greatest divine spark. They deeply understand the struggles of others and can see the divine in them even before they see it themselves.
