Joy & Happiness

Joy & Happiness

"There are those who give with joy, and joy is their reward." - Khalil Gibran

Laughter is the best medicine. We must consciously nurture and release joy in our lives. Every day we are given is a gift. We should enjoy it fully and not waste it.

Joy is powerful. Find strength in the good around you. When you become a blessing to others and give of yourself, you will  naturally feel joyful. When we receive something, we only get the gift; but when we give, we receive the joy of giving.  Nothing releases supernatural joy in our lives more than being a blessing to other people. 

Selfishness and self-centeredness turn our focus in on ourselves and block our joy, but giving does just the opposite.  People are happy when they are reaching out to others. Be a blessing, be happy, and rejoice on purpose, and you will enjoy a life in abundance.

Learn to enjoy where you are on the way to where you're going. You will enjoy the journey when you seek joy and the freedom to laugh and enjoy life, love people, and be unafraid to step out and try new things.

Action: If you're not happy with your life, now is a great time to look at the reasons why. Why are you unhappy? Are you lonely? Disappointed? Scared? Feel rejected? Unworthy? Angry? Harboring regrets? Take a good long look at what you're really feeling. When you acknowledge it, you can work on it.
