Success vs. Joy
- LXI -
What is Joy!
A perfect stroke is one where you hit the sweet spot of the ball, literally and figuratively. In this your inner self connects with the point of focus that is outside of you. Hitting that spot repeatedly is what you are constantly aspiring towards.
The joy is in that infinitesimal moment when all thought, aspiration, hope, goals, and beliefs become non-existent. Joy is that compressed moment in which your inner being is in complete harmony with everything.
Why, for instance, would a golfer keep going back to the golf course? Having hit a perfect stroke, a golfer becomes addicted and keeps going back for a fix. He wants to experience the joy provided by the sweet spot again and again.
