Joy


Joy
  is emotion arising from success, a feeling of satisfaction and great pleasure. Joy is the acceptance of our own worth when gaining achievements, celebrating when we should. Joy is taking the happiness in our hearts and putting it on our sleeves for all to see and share.

To bring joy into your life observe nature to see many joyful events, from the sight of the first flower of spring to the daily variations of sunrise and sunset. Remember the feeling when you passed an exam, had an addition to the family or shared in the joy of victory. Look around you at ordinary people and how the majority behave towards each other. Neighbour helping neighbour, strangers helping those in need, one person holding a door open for another, this is the rule not the exception. It's not that bad, it's not even bad, just grey ground some bits of the edge. Look at life for joy and be part of it. Enjoy life then you will have joy.
