Joy is the Bait
Any measurement of your experience through time is like taking a spoonful of ocean water.
It is only a microcosmic dose of your true reality—just one small perspective of all that is happening in and around you.
If what you’re experiencing feels good to you, then it is a snapshot of one perspective. Yet at any point in time, you could change what you see by how you see it. Shifting even a degree—or less, yet another measurement of human construct—in either direction, or zooming out on your view, would provide a much different catch. Like throwing a net into the ocean and drawing it out, you only reveal what happened to be swimming by at that moment.
Like a fisherman, you must change your position—either your physical location or simply the side of the boat—in order to cast your line and catch what is desired.
You would not go fishing for large-legged crab in a small lake, or you’d be disappointed.
Look for—fish for—what your desire is, in the place it is sure to be found.
If you are seeking fulfillment, joy, or contentment—and it is not already on board with you—you’ll have a disappointing excursion.
Yet if you went out with a full heart, and all your gear, ready to fish—you would catch all the fish and more that coincide with your level of joy.
The vibrational beam of that joy would draw the fish to your boat.
You may not even need to cast your line or bait your hook—you’d be doing it for the sheer joy of fishing.
The sun, the gentle swaying of your boat, and the satisfaction of your existence and love is not only self-contained, but beaming all around.
Others will want to join you in what you’re doing—even if they’ve never fished before or enjoyed it before.
Your level of enthusiasm is beamed and felt by others.
And the experience—the surrounding trees, the breeze, even the sun—will beam in appreciation.
Enjoy life. Enjoy the journey. Shift only slightly your perspective to draw in all that you desire.
Be a fisher of men (human-clothed souls), and bring joy to yourself—and to others, in turn.
