Because we don’t feel worthy. Because we’re focused on pleasing others instead of ourselves. Because we want to be loved. Because we’re trying to win at someone else’s reward system. Because we’re told not to get too big for our britches. Because we’re operating on the premise that what other people think actually matters to our well being.
Because it feels vulnerable to feel good, and we start to fear that is won’t last. Because positive feelings such as joy, happiness, bliss abundance and more, are very very powerful. And that kind of energy current can shake up our emotional structures–joy can blow your mind. Positive emotions can also be threatening to the people around us who’d prefer miserable company.
JOY DOES NOT FIT INTO THE STATUS QUO. (Quoted from The Desire Map: A Guide to Creating Goals with Soul by Danielle Laporte)
I am enjoying learning from just about every word on the page in this book “The Desire Map” by Danielle LaPorte. I highly recommend this read for inspiration in your personal and work life!
