Joy & Enthusiasm of Writers
Daily Success Stories from ILLUMINATION
Fearlessness is not only possible, it is the ultimate joy. When you touch non-fear, you are free. — Thich Nhat Hanh
Experiencing joy is one of the primary goals in my personal and professional life. Joy adds meaning to our lives. We are wired to feel joyful most of the time. It is the natural state for humans in the absence of fear and anxiety.
Once we accept the reality, take personal responsibility for our actions, and learn that there is nothing to be feared in life but to be understood, we start feeling joy more frequently in our lives.
A harmonious life with diversity and collaboration is a prime example of joy.
The biggest reward and benefit I gain from orchestrating ILLUMINATION is to see the joy of our writers reflected in their inspiring stories, comments on stories, and their feedback to me.
For example, the joy reflected by Besom & Bletherskite, who introduced ILLUMINATION in a YouTube video is an example. This is the first video. I know many of our writers will create many more videos featuring their creativity on YouTube. Our writers want to experience the joy of reaching out to millions of readers. They write from mind, heart, and soul.
