Joy is that inexplicable feeling that all is well, notwithstanding that nothing is happening around us.
Joy doesn’t mean there needs to be a windfall landing in our lap.
Joy doesn’t mean there needs to be any positive development at all in our physical world.
Because Joy is an emotion.
And all emotions are ultimately felt inside of us, and it emanates from within.
Joy doesn’t come from any external event or person.
When we feel happy being with someone, its because we choose to be happy.
It’s not the other person, it’s us.
It’s always us.
We can choose to view the glass as half-empty, or half-full.
We can choose to start every sentence with a complaint, or with a compliment.
We can choose to wear a frown all the time, or to always smile.
The choice is always in our hands.
How do we want to feel?
Joyful or Upset?
