420 Joy is Not a Destination it´s a Shield

I’ve always been joyful. People tell me they can feel it, even through a screen. Sometimes, just a call leaves them smiling. But joy doesn’t always stay. Anxiety creeps in. Rumination steals it. And suddenly, joy feels far away. Not long ago, I heard a beautiful reflection by Chris Stefanik on the Hallow app, and it hit me: I’ve been treating joy the wrong way. For years, I thought joy was a prize at the end of the road — something you earn after fixing everything.But Chris reminded me: joy is not the destination. It’s the shield.And it’s true. When stress hits, joy gives you resilience. When doubt shows up, joy protects your confidence. When life feels heavy, joy helps you carry it.Psychologist Shawn Achor calls this The Happiness Advantage. At Harvard, his research showed happiness doesn’t follow success — it creates success. Joyful brains are more creative, productive, and capable under pressure.And my friend Nacho Pérez Salazar once told me: “Don’t wait for life to stop being hard to be happy.” That’s it. That’s the truth.So here’s my challenge for you:👉 Today is Monday. This week will bring stress, surprises, and challenges. But you get to choose how to face them. Decide right now to live this week joyfully. Carry joy as your shield into everything ahead.Stay in the Flow 🌊 — and if this message resonated, like, share, and follow so you don’t miss tomorrow’s Daily Flow.
