Truly joyful

Truly joyful
Life can be discouraging, but you don't have to be discouraged. Even when
there is no reason for joy, you can be truly joyful.
Discouragement is possible only because you know things can be better. So
instead of focusing on the discouraging aspects of the situation, focus on
what you can do to improve it.
You can always choose to be more positive than your circumstances. Feel the
love you have for life's goodness, and see the possibilities for expressing
that goodness in new and meaningful ways.
If you're troubled by the world around you, the most powerful thing you can
do is to change yourself. Instead of buying into the world's troubles, give
the world your own authentic joy.
Yes, life is difficult and yes, you can experience immense joy and
fulfillment anyway. Let go of your self-pity and connect with your positive
power.
Make the choice to live according not to your darkest fears, but to your
highest, brightest expectations. Make the choice, no matter what, to live
with the joy that is always yours to give.
