Means are consistently sought to spark joy. But that joy can be even more elusive as means themselves do not guarantee joy as much as they facilitate it.
There is no guaranteed formula that can be outright copied to secure the win one desires. Certain guidelines act as valuable reference points, but everyone must find their own and do so with the understanding that finding joy does not simply boil down to “seek and ye shall find.”
It also involves spontaneity. Happenstance. Something comes along and sparks it upon there being an organic convergence of time, place, association, interest, openness, patience, etc. And truth be told, finding and maintaining joy depends on one’s capacity to embrace it in spite of whatever may try to snuff out its flame.
