You are right about finding joy. It is my belief that it is your responsibility. This position is put forth by the definitions of the word find:
A: to come upon by searching or effort
B: to discover by study or experiment
C: to obtain by effort or management

I am not trying to usurp the power of serendipity. Or make the awe of discovery somehow less important.

You have to at least have your heart and mind attune to the opportunity, which I believe is a conscious action. You choose your behavior.

I know I have a very difficult time doing this! When I have only so much mental/emotional currency to spend, if I chose to not budget for finding joy... then I won't
