Choosing Joy

Joy has to come from within. It is not something we can go after or win. Joy is found in the most unexpected places and ways. When we receive it, our hearts are enlightened. Isn't that why it is called joy?

Dear Pose123, We have a power to choose whether we need to choose joy or else. Every person will face up and down in our life but it's only temporary. If we choose joy and happiness,everythings will be fine and we will be more motivated to do everythings. I choose joy and happiness in my life.Every single time I cherish myself with fun and enjoy activity. All my time fulfill with joy and happiness with my beloved friends and family.

Happiness is really a choice because there is always something out there that can bring happiness to our lives. Is just a matter of counting our blessings every day since we can bring happiness to others with just a friendly smile.

I start each day with love and joy awakening in each cell in my body. I visualize this as a flower opening to the white light of positive energy. I close each day with the same visualization of each cell and then I send this energy out into the world to awakened as needed. This may sound strange but it works for me. I also thank this power for all things in my day. After 3 years of doing this it only takes me seconds to become aware of this energy in my body and thoughout the world. You will notice that this is what I do to stay aware. I also use the power of prayer to help direct my life toward my goals. But that is different from this morning and night rite.

Hi Pose: I chose to be a happy man and that's what I have done. I agree with you. This is simply a personal decition. We have the power to decide if we want to see the positive or the negative part of something. Of course every person have their own difficulties and strenght problems to pass through. But I think that we have the strenght to survive these bad situations. As long as we accept this power we will be more responsible of our actions and we will be obviously more happy. Thanks for starting this discussion. Have a nice day. ALVARO

Happiness is not being looked for, it's being felt in the presence of God. God will always give us joy, and keep it in our hearts, He will always give us reasons to be happy. Happiness is also found in the way we handle every situations and problems in our lives.

you can choose to be miserable or choose to be happy. sure we all have our problems but joy is knowing that it is only temporary.

Great discussion!! Yes, I choose happiness everyday. You know, there are roses that can be found everyday. All one has to do is choose to look! Of course smelling those roses is nice as well.

Hello there! I want to follow as what you have said and do it but then if reality strikes in and all the worries that it brings I guess it's a bit easier said than done. We can try and do it but not all the time otherwise it will somehow show as somewhat like we are in denial of what's really going on or we are already apathetic, cannot feel anything real anymore. Sorry to disagree with you but that's how I view it.
