Journal Prompt: JOY

Journal prompt: What brings you joy?  What do joy and happiness have in common? How are they different?

Our ideas are as valid as we make them out to be. We may worry that others may not think that what we have to say is worthy of attention, especially the ideas that come to us via inspiration or are our own invention. If we can believe in our ideas enough to back them up, others will be more likely to see the validity behind our notions. Even if they don't end up agreeing with us, they will still respect and see worth in our ideas. Many of the greatest ideas in the world came from one person's ability to articulate an idea in a way that hadn't been thought of before. One person's notion can be the next great invention, if only that person is brave enough to put their thoughts out there. Believe in your ideas enough to share them with others today, and you will be contributing to the collective consciousness.

A desire to express what's on your mind allows you to share your ideas with lots of people. Your creative juices may be flowing, and you may find lots of exciting and innovative thoughts coming to and through you. The energy and excitement that you may feel could come through your words and cause others to sense your conviction and passion for what you are trying to communicate. If you can believe in what you have to say today, others will respect your conviction and also think of your ideas as worthy.
