Everyone wants to be joyful. People keep falling into pits because they do not have the necessary energy to keep up their joy.

The only way forward is for human intelligence, ingenuity, and competence to find conscious expression. Without that, there is no solution.

Karma is about shifting responsibility from heaven to yourself. In this, you become the very maker of your own destiny.  

If you want inspiration, read a book. But if you really want to walk the spiritual path, the only way is to turn inward.
