“Better than a granola bar - joy is pure energy.”(Way #8 Constant Joy)

22. July 2009 by admin.

Joy according to the American Heritage Dictionary is “Intense and especially ecstatic or exultant happiness The expression or manifestation of such feeling. A source or an object of pleasure or satisfaction: their only child, their pride and joy. To fill with ecstatic happiness, pleasure, or satisfaction. To enjoy. [Middle English joie, from Old French, from Latin gaudia, pl. of gaudium, joy, from gaudēre, to rejoice; see gāu- in Indo-European roots.]  (APA)

Practicing an attitude of gratitude creates a mindset that is equipped to handle life on life terms.  Are you seeking joy outside yourself, or does your joy come from within? With joy comes abundant energy for a higher creativity level. Joy gives you self esteem enhancing everything that you put your hand to. Children are naturally joyful because they are innocent with out the daily responsibilities of the adult world. Adults get so caught up in the problems of raising a child instead of being grateful they were blessed with a child. It’s not about what happens to you in life; it’s how you react to what happens to you in life.

“Joy gives you the power, motivation and confidence to achieve things that otherwise seem too difficult to attempt. Better than a granola bar - joy is pure energy.”
