Reflection
Over my lifetime, I have identified various catalysts that bring me in touch with my inner joy. One of them is a long bike ride with nature.
This past Saturday, I was fortunate enough to ride on a day when the sky was stunning, and I rode a new route, which opened my eyes to many pictures of nature I had never experienced.
Here are a few snaps from my joy-inspiring ride on the Simon Kenton Trail:
Questions
What flips your inner joy switch to on?
What do you need to do to keep it turned on?
What people, places, things, and situations steal you of your inner joy?
Romans 15:13, “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”

AFFIRM YOUR P.E.A.C.E.
Plan – A dream remains a dream until you write it down. Putting your dream or goal in writing is the first step in creating a PLAN to achieve it. When you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Effort—Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to consistent and focused effort toward executing your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.
Attitude—If you believe you will achieve your dream, your chances of achieving it increase exponentially. Remember that your attitude determines your altitude in all areas of your life.
Community – Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. The chances of achieving your dream expand as your COMMUNITY of positive mentors and coaches expand. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with–and yes, spending time with “people” through books and instructional videos factors into your “average.”
Energy – Chasing and achieving your dream requires optimal mental, physical, and spiritual ENERGY. So put your dream in God’s hands and nurture your mental and physical being.
