To experience joy is to know that the universe is friendly, and that it is always working for and with you. Think of a current situation you do not like in your life, and recognize the good in it by doing the following:

1. Believe that you have created this situation to learn from, even if it seems that you have nothing to do with its creation.
2. Affirm that the universe is perfect, and that it is always working for you.
3. Sound your soul’s note of joy, and decide that you will grow with joy rather than through struggle or pain in this area.
4. Say to yourself, “This situation is offering me many blessings and opportunities to grow stronger and more whole within.”
5. Think of at least one soul quality (patience, love, forgiveness, humility, compassion, and so on) that you are more able to express since you drew this situation to you.
6. Send your love and forgiveness to anyone involved.
7. Love and forgive yourself for having created this.
8. Make a picture that you will experience the peace, joy, and serenity of your soul in this area, no matter how the situation evolves or changes.
9. See yourself gaining these soul qualities and learning your lessons through joy in the future. ~Orin&DaBen
