Welcome to the Wants to Dare Podcast. This is going to be the shortest episode that I've ever released, but I do feel the need to say this because someone needs to hear, and I know it because I needed to hear and be reminded of it. So think of this as a friend-to-friend encouragement. Life is gonna throw curveballs your way. Create space for joy anyway. If 2025 has been a difficult year, it has been for me, it has been for so many people that I know. It's almost as if there's not very many people that I know of that hadn't had this year be a year that challenged them, that pushed them to the limits or to the brink in some way, form, or shape. And so I just want to tell you that when life is challenging, do not forget to carve out moments that bring you joy. Because the way that I see it is that you are gonna have grief and sorrow, and at the same time, in the season of hardships and sorrow and grief and whatever challenge you are facing, you still can have joy and laughter and freedom and fun if you make the space for it. And so if we wait until life is all perfect and everything is great, and we don't start living until then, we will miss out on life. We will miss out on moments. So I don't know what you're going through right now, I don't know what you may be up against, but here's what I know is that any of us, any person listening to this, can do something. It doesn't have to be expensive, it doesn't have to be extraordinary, but you can do something to cultivate joy. So whether that looks like calling your friend and having a cup of coffee, whether that looks like taking yourself to the movies and watching a comedy, I don't know what that looks like for you. I don't know if it's taking an art class, I don't know if it looks like whatever that may be, you know what brings you joy. And so my challenge to you is this schedule your joy this month, this week, today. Take a moment, take a minute, breathe in, reflect, and create a moment of joy. I dare you to cultivate joy, even when life sucks, or even when it's difficult. So, this is my encouragement to you cultivate joy, anyways. Life will throw you curveballs, life will be challenging. There will be things that are not within your control, and so I think a lot of it is not so much of what it is that we're facing, but the meaning that we assign to it and how we react to that situation. And sometimes we can't change the circumstances, but we can always, always do something to cultivate joy. And so that's it. That's all I had to say. I hope you have a fabulous week.
