“Happiness is emotional, it comes and goes. Joy, on the other hand, is a way of being. It’s a choice. I can choose to live my foundation of joy- the joy of being alive. . .”
Robert White
When you start from joy, whatever life brings you today will be lived coming from that place of being. As you continue on the path of life, you may get caught up in the notion that if you work hard today, you will be able to retire and enjoy life in the future. You may be walking through your days asleep, not experiencing the opportunities that present themselves. The reality is you are only guaranteed the present moment that you are living right now. It serves no one by postponing joy for another day. This is as simple an application as living in joy minute by minute, not based in plans for what the future may hold. For example, when you take a shower in the morning, be in joy! When you eat your breakfast lunch and dinner, be in joy! When you are driving home in rush hour traffic, turn on the music or sit in silence, be in joy! Life is going on all around us. It does not hurt to put on the rose-colored glasses and see the beauty, joy and miracles all around. It really is your choice. Even on a rainy day, the weather is offering you an opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature even if it may be a little difficult to get around. You make the choice to embrace the joy of being alive while you can!
Magical Key to Bliss: Enjoy being alive today!
