Can Deliberate Joyfulness help you achieve goals faster?

I am not talking about forcing yourself to feel joyful when your circumstances warrant otherwise. That doesn't work for most. What I am referring to is finding more things to do that give you greater joy. Also, letting joy be the objective at every point in the process rather than focusing just on achieving results. For eg. if you wanted to get to point C and you could go by path A or path B and if path A feels lighter and more joyful, then choosing path A. That means following your intuition.

The reason I am asking these questions is because these are the questions I asked when trying to achieve fitness and weight loss. I obtained amazing results in my own fitness after I was committed to finding fitness activities that I loved doing, that I wanted to do, I was self motivated to do (it was no longer a have to do or should do for me). That means I made joy at every point my #1 objective. I lost 4 inches of belly fat in 2 months when I was committed to doing things this way. Then I created a website on joyful fitness (follow link in my sig)

Then I decided to apply the same thinking to my other goals such as being wealthy. I haven't achieved that goal as yet, however I can tell you that I am very happy at the direction I am heading with this thinking.

A lot of this makes sense. Maria Montessori found a lot of inefficiencies in the process of educating kids and she created processes of "Joyful Learning" which were far more effective and joyful for teaching kids. These are being used in Montessori Schools throughout the world. Montessori is proven to be a very effective teaching system because it breaks education down and delivers it in a way that kids love to do it. I wanted to see if the same thing can be applied in several different directions. Read my blog and do the joy experiment if you are motivated by what I have written here and report your results back to me.

In my blog I am using words such as higher self (that is deliberately remaining joyful and being open to what your feelings are at every point whether path A or path B has greater light and joy for you) and am referencing the Bible and other spiritual traditions in a few places however the blog is non-religious and practical in nature. It can be applied by anyone of any religion or faith. Try it and let me know what you think. Thanks.
