***** (click for detail. pic) The Three and Only Habits of Profoundly Joyful People: 1. From the Soul, 2. In 100% Lived Solidarity, 2. Serving, our Global Neediest Family. With every breath. Loving, for the Joy of it. FULL STOP. [Can you think of any exceptions?] The life’s devotion of the Loving parent is to preserve this as the TOTALITY of their child, for their JOY. (important detail.

When my two biological offspring were born, what had been my lifelong background focus, rocketed to the center of my being... and remained there, growing, taking over more and more of my being.  That Focus - Claiming and Living the Path of Infinite, every-breath Joy IN LIFE... that I was Certain, from Birth... was there for ALL  of us to Live... NO MATTER WHAT... because these two new lives were my responsibility... and every cell in my body wanted to get it as right for them, as I could, and for their mom.  And in agony, I recognized, I didn't know, or embody, even a tiny portion of what they needed from me to give them a good chance at 100% Joyful Living... in this most Joy-less of all times and cultures in human history... in the history of creation.  Ever since the conception of that 1st offspring, I've twisted, contorted, studied, practiced, failed, failed, failed...succeeded... making baby step after baby step forward... to the point that by about 13 years ago (too late for them :-(   ), my cells (but not my brain) absolutely knew the direction... that I've lived ever since.  But my brain is much, much, much... slower than my cells....  It is only in the middle of the night last night... that all I've learned, developed, integrated, practiced... came together in it's simple, complete essence (pic below).  I'd dearly like to have a book that conveyed in detail, with the copious reference that now dwell within me, what this pic conveys... but for the few, the one in a million, that in any population has 'the eyes to see and the ears to hear,' I'm not sure a book could improve their chances of 'seeing' and 'hearing' beyond what this pic says. All that remains for them is ... practice, practice, practice, practice.... What this pic says is the complete integration of the accumulated wisdom of hundreds of books in a myriad of disciplines, from the wisest, Profoundly Joyful Souls, in history, filtered thru my lifetime of failure, trial, struggle, and success.  I share it, because it is what I live every-breath-Profound-Joy by... despite, and facilitated by, relatively profound and total material deprivation... for more than a decade now.  (Don't say I never gave you anything!  LOL.)  Hugs
ps:  I've arrived at, and live, every breath, the Path of Infinite Joy (and Hell of bearing the world's Suffering)... because I'm one of the only ones, a one in a million... that never 'admired,' but rather... 'ENVIED...'  what I Knew to be the Supreme Quality of Life of the likes of my dad, Jesus, King, Teresa of Calcutta, Malala, Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, Alice Paul, Rosa Parks, Abe Lincoln's of history....  I was obsessively greedy to have a quality of life like that... so greedy... and so undeservedly Spiritually over-privileged... that after 45 years of squandering what I'd been given... I found the Path... and have lived it with increasing understanding... every since.  I Live in the hopes of being one more in this short list of those who are Envied... and make people enlightened-GREEDY. (Yes, I've failed at this pretty miserably so far, but, well, I'll keep at it.)
