Abundant living is realizing that life is a privilege whether it’s adhering to our scripts or not.

How beautiful it is to feel that what you cannot describe?

Empowering beliefs are ideas that launch us forward and help us to become the person we want to be. Empowering beliefs are freeing, encouraging, and inclusive; they nurture and uplift. When we find ourselves harboring a limiting belief, we need to replace it with one that cultivates joy.

Laurie Buchanan PhD

The things which give joy to you may also give you horror!

Mehmet Murat ildan

We have a choice. We can be jaded by what we’ve lost, or joyous over what that thing had accomplished while we had it.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

When you are grateful,' Brother Steindl-Rast explained, 'you are not fearful, and when you are not fearful, you are not violent. When you are grateful, you act out of a sense of enough and not out of a sense of scarcity, and you are willing to share. If you are grateful, you are enjoying the differences between people and respectful to all people. The grateful world is a world of joyful people. Grateful people are joyful people. A grateful world is a happy world.

Douglas Carlton Abrams

If you want to discover your true purpose for existing, all you have to do is look deeply into the things that bring you joy.

Toni Sorenson

You cannot impose a culture from the top--it must come from under. It grows out of the soil, out of the people, out of their daily life and work. It is a spontaneous expression of their joy of life, of their joy in work, and if this does not exist, the culture will not exist. Joy is a spiritual quality, an impalpable quality: that too cannot be forced. It must be an inevitable state of mind, born of the elementary processes of life, a by-product of natural human growth.

Herbert Read

We are fragile creatures, and it is from this weakness, not despite it, that we discover the possibility of true joy.

Desmond Tutu

Be the kind of person who is a joy to be around. Caring for and loving others brings out the best in you and keeps your heart open to the unspoken and deeply buried needs of others.

Farshad Asl

Awe ignites joy because it makes us bend the knee.

Ann Voskamp

Im not looking for perfection, just perfect flaws.

Kierra C.T. Banks

It is as if joy were the default setting of human emotion, not the furtive, fugitive glimpses it becomes in lives compromised by necessity, familiarity, ‘maturity,’ suffering. You must become as little children, Jesus said, a statement that is often used to justify anti-intellectualism and the renunciation of reason, but which I take actually to mean that we must recover this sense of wonder, this excess of spirit brimming out of the body.

Christian Wiman

There are people out there waiting for you. Indeed, you are the only one who can bring joy in the heart of people. Yes, sometimes only with one smile.

Dariush Youkhaneh

Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

No, it was not regret which made Anne's heart beat in spite of herself, and brought the colour into her cheeks when she thought of Captain Wentworth unshackled and free. She had some feelings which she was ashamed to investigate. They were too much like joy, senseless joy!

Jane Austen

Discovering more joy does not, save us from th inevitability of hardship and heartbreak. In fact, we may cry more easily, but we will laugh more easily too. Perhaps we are just more alive. Yet as we discover more joy, we can face suffering in a way that ennobles rather than embitters. We have hardship without becoming hard. We have heartbreaks without being broken.

Desmond Tutu

People who truly live their lives don't have time to complain or judge others. They're too busy enjoying life and love and everything in between!

Charlotte Eriksson

There goes a lot of pain in raising children. But the pain is equally or overtly compensated by the joy of parenthood.

Girdhar Joshi

Joy comes when you turn it over to God to deal with. This is when you will feel the true release from it's weight.

Shannon L. Alder

Happiness is an undercurrent of sensitivity and leads a surreptitious life: it is an internal eventuality. We can feel it in stillness and it stands the test of time. Joy is an eruption of cheerful moments and we want to express it: it is an external eventuality. We might shout it out, as it conveys a dynamic of fleeting instants. Joy gives voice to “en-joy-ment”. ("The grass was greener over there")

Erik Pevernagie

The number one joy indicator, the one thing that will predict whether someone feels joy in their life or not, is the practice of gratitude.

John O'Leary

Joy sometimes take baby steps

Gary Rudz

There is something joyful about storms, that interrupt routine. Snow or freezing rain suddenly releases you from expectations, performance demands, and the tyranny of appointments and schedules. And unlike illness, it is largely a corporate, rather than individual experience. One could almost hear a unified sigh rise from the nearby city and surrounding countryside, where nature has intervened to give respite to the weary humans slogging it out within her purview. All those affected this way are united by a mutual excuse, and the heart is suddenly, and unexpectedly, a little giddy. There will be no apologies needed for not showing up to some commitment or other. Everyone understands and shares in this singular justification, and the sudden alleviation of the pressure to produce makes the heart merry....Even if it's hardly more than a day or two, somehow each person feels like the master of his or her own world, simply because those little droplets of water freeze as they hit the ground. Even commonplace activities become extraordinary. Routine choices become adventures and are often experienced with a sense of heightened clarity.

William Paul Young

I ran outta tears of sadness when I was 20 & all I got left is tears of joy.

Genereux Philip

For joy alone, Carries a fountain of youth.Laughter's music, Will wrinkle smooth.- Poem Fountain of Youth

Joy is the feeling of one's powers increasing.

Matthew B. Crawford

Along our journey we will be confronted with many situations, some will be filled with joy, and some will be filled with heartache. How we react to what we are faced will determine what kind of outcome the rest of our journey through life will be like.

Susan Samaroo

While the light remains,' said Carde, speaking slowly in his high deliberate voice, 'only do not forsake the joy of life. If you shall have given all your kisses, you will give too few. And as leaves fall from withered wreaths which you may see spread upon the cups and floating there, so for us, who now as lovers hope for so much, perhaps tomorrow's day will close the doom.

Iris Murdoch

The greatest joy is to be a mirror of God’s love

Sunday Adelaja

Nothing has to be funny. Sometimes I just laugh to heal my soul.

TemitOpe Ibrahim

Often person X can only find happiness when they feel that person Y can see how happy they are... This is the lowest level of happiness - what I call the tyranny of happiness. I like how Brian Miller draws a contrast between the tyranny of happiness and true joy.“Unlike [the tyranny of] happiness, joy is never in our power. It’s not something we can make or choose for ourselves. Instead it’s the sensation that Lewis says jumps under one’s ribs, tickles down one’s back, makes one forget meals and keeps one delighted. It’s an enormous comfort, under all this pressure to be happy, to remember that you don’t have to be in control. You can instead be surprised by joy. – B. Miller

Chester Elijah Branch

Nothing has to be funny, sometimes I just laugh to unclog my soul.

TemitOpe Ibrahim

Usually when we talk about blessings, we experience joy and anticipation of a greater presence of God in our lives

Sunday Adelaja

To radiate joy is to reveal deep compassion for hurting people

Sunday Adelaja

you have everything. still ,you have nothing . sad .

litymunshi

But Mary had not come into the world to be sad or to help another to be sad. Sorrowful we may often have to be, but to indulge in sorrow is either not to know or to deny God our Saviour. True, her heart ached for Letty; and the ache immediately laid itself as close to Letty's ache as it could lie; but that was only the advance-guard of her army of salvation, the light cavalry of sympathy: the next division was help; and behind that lay patience, and strength, and hope, and faith,and joy. This last, modern teachers, having failed to regard it as a virtue, may well decline to regard as a duty; but he is a poor Christian indeed in whom joy has not at least a growing share, and Mary was not a poor Christian--at least, for the time she had been learning, and as Christians go in the present aeon of their history.

George MacDonald

Perhaps it's better to find joy in the rubble rather than celebrate in ignorance.

Catherine Jones Payne

The joy is the journey of Life.

Lailah Gifty Akita

We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter.

Ellen DeGeneres

Fine Things are reservoirs for the heart.

Fennel Hudson

I'm actually very humbled listening to His Holiness,' the Archbishop said, 'because I've frequently mentioned to people the fact of his serenity and his calm and joyfulness. We would probably have said 'in spite of' the adversity, but it seems like he's saying 'because of' the adversity that this has evolved for him.

Desmond Tutu

Symptoms of chronic stress are feelings of fragmentation and of chasing after time - of not being able to be present. What we are looking for is a settled, joyful state of being, and we need to give this state space. The Archbishop once told me that people often think he needs time to pray and reflect because he is a religious leader. He said those who must live in the marketplace - business people, professionals and workers - need it even more.

Desmond Tutu

I think I'm allergic or something. I feel kinda strange... sort of floaty and light-headed.""You ain't sick, hon," Mom said. She kissed me cheek and hugged me so tight I thought I might break a rib. "That's joy.

Meredith Russo

A smile will go the mile, while a frown will take you down.
