Joy

What Gives You Joy?

Life will not, of itself, necessarily grant you joy. Life will give you
opportunities and challenges. It will offer you friends and present
you with experiences. It will ask you to work and require you to
feel, but it will not, necessarily, give you joy.

Joy is a state of the soul, the feeling beyond feeling which allows
us to know that it is right to be alive, that our living has meaning
and that we belong.

Certain people and experiences, certain spiritual disciplines, some
words we utter, certain movements that we make with our bodies,
have the capacity to bring us inexplicably and beautifully into the
state of immeasurable joy. Today, allow yourself to discover, to
seek, and to embrace those things that give you joy.
