“It was so amazing!  I had all this time to just look at everything and take it all in. The colors, the smells, the sounds, the beauty.  I just wanted more and more….it made me greedy for more joy!”

I watched my client’s face radiate joy as she described her 2 hours at the garden center. This was not how our coaching sessions had originally started.  Worried that she was going to burn out – again – she hired me to help her organize her time and to create space for more joyful activities.  Hearing her say “it made me greedy for more joy” made my heart sing almost as much as hers!  

Don’t you think that would be a great life mission?  To be greedy for joy?

I know that we have been taught not to be greedy.  Being greedy is unattractive, rude and the kind of quality that can get you banned from dinner parties and play dates.  What I also know is that after working with hundreds of responsible, generous, loving people, there is no way that getting greedy for more joy would ever turn them into a self-absorbed, grabber and hoarder of all things in life!  I think that one of the reasons we are told not to be greedy comes from the belief (fear) that there isn’t enough to go around – in other words, scarcity beliefs.  

Now here’s where the ‘greed is bad’ argument falls apart in my mind….joy is unlimited!  Joy comes from deep within each of you, it comes through your connection with Source and Source is a never ending…well…source, of joy.  No matter how much you have, no matter how much you receive; no matter how greedy you get for joy…there will always be more than enough to go around.

So go ahead….you have my permission…get greedy for Joy!
