following our joy is what allows us to bring joy to others
In the magical world that is Netflix's Zumbo's Just Desserts, one competitor was killing it with desserts filled with tropical flavors like pineapple, mango and passion fruit. Her desserts always placed her among the top finalists from one episode to the next.
And then she decided to "challenge" herself by making a coffee-flavored cake. (Everyone likes coffee, right?)
Actually, no. She doesn't like coffee.
So, this talented dessert-maker who has received praise for her delicious flavors throughout the competition, decides to make a coffee-flavored cake even though she doesn't like the taste of coffee. And it falls flat. The judges don't like it. And just like that, she suddenly finds herself risking elimination from the competition.
What happened?
She had been following the joy. And then she stopped. Instead, she did what she thought she was supposed to do: She sacrificed her own joy for what she thought would bring joy to other people. It didn't work -- it never works.
Following our joy is what allows us to bring joy to others.
Sacrificing our joy doesn't do anything for us or for anyone else.
Following our own joy is our birthright. And it's our gift to the world. When we follow the joy, our energy gets sparkly AF. And when our energy gets sparkly AF, it becomes juicy, magnetic and irresistible. And that's how we ELEVATE the world.
That's what we're here for, people: ELEVATION.
I'm not just talking to Generators and Manifesting Generators right now. I am talking to the Generators and Manifesting Generators inside each of us. We all have every energy type within us. The energy type that is named on our Human Design chart is simply our dominant energy type.
In other words, every single one of us is here to follow the joy.
Learn more about following the joy from 5/1 Generator Ariana Joy on The Find Your Awesome Podcast. This is one of my favorite episodes ever. We talked about:

Active vs. Passive Brains
AND I unintentionally said something inappropriate that made us both laugh so hard that I had tears streaming down my face [Laughter is one form of contagious joy. This will make you smile.]
