Day 7: Your Joy Is a Map, Not a Distraction

“Joy isn’t a luxury — it’s a direction.” — Walk the Hidden Path

Teaching

You’ve been told joy is something to earn. Something that comes after the grind.

But what if joy isn’t the reward — it’s the instruction?

When something brings you alive, you’re not being distracted. You’re being guided.

Joy has intelligence. It points. It opens. It signals the places your soul is most fluent. It may not speak in job descriptions, but it speaks in resonance.

You do not need to justify your joy. You need to trust it.

Because the world doesn’t need more people who are merely competent. It needs people who are lit from within.

Your joy is not irresponsible. It’s sacred.
