• 1:05
  it to me, and the world can't take it away, it simply means this.
• 1:10
  Real joy isn't attached to external validation, perfect timing,
• 1:16
  easy seasons, money, titles, degrees, applause, relationships, or outcomes.
• 1:25
  It lives within you. And when you truly have joy jumping inside of you,
• 1:31
  it's not because everything around you is perfect.
• 1:35
  It's because you've made peace with continuing the journey anyway.
• 1:41
  That's the real win. The biggest victory we can have in life is learning how
• 1:47
  to find joy in the journey.
• 1:50

• 1:55
  the rebuilding, the healing, the waiting, the becoming, the starting over,
• 2:01
  the uncertainty, the growth.
• 2:04
  Because if you only allow yourself to experience joy once everything is perfect,
• 2:11
  you'll miss the beauty of your own transformation while it's happening.
• 2:16
  And listen, joy doesn't mean you never get frustrated, disappointed,
• 2:23
  tired, or emotional. It means those things don't get the final say.
