Joy

"Days that lift us like a wave, when you feel you could live forever."

"Hope makes a merry heart."

"I can only change the world by changing myself."

"As we did without clergy, let us do without soldiers. The joy built upon successful slaughter is not the right kind of joy; it will not do; it is fearful and it is trivial."

"Good or bad, happy or sad, everything that happens does so for a reason; no incident in this world is a stray occurrence. Don’t be unnecessarily perplexed or anxious about it- accept it. There’s no point resisting it because it was ordained. A strain of music, perhaps a song, at times a stray incident brings back memories of another day. Some may be nostalgically beautiful others may bring back that ache in the heart that you thought you had overcome long ago. Don’t stop them, let them keep flooding in. They are your memories of an era gone by. Feel them. Relive the good ones. Chew the cud of nostalgia. You will feel energized. The unhappy ones too are welcome, let them in. That pain that you feel once again is the purging of your heart. Feel that the ache for one last time and forgive those that caused the pain. Let go of those memories tenderly. Gently bid them adieu with love. You are a new person now. Those old memories have gone and they have left a space; you are now ready to accept new ones. Fill your life with love; spread it. Live life the way you want to. Do things that you have wanted to do all this while but were afraid to. Live the life that brings you happiness and makes your heart sing with joy..."

"The greatest joy is the grace of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ."

"Smile is the beauty of the soul."

"Real joy is never influenced."

"When we think of all the beatitudes in life, our heart shall be merry."

"Smiled. The type of smile that men drive all night in a blinding rainstorm on their bike to see. The type of smile that keep men fighting brutal wars for years in the vain of hope of seeing it again. The type of smile that made me come to my feet, because if i didn't, I'd fall to my knees."

"Without healing, there is no happiness."

"Laten we op zoek gaan naar 'vreugde' in plaats van naar eerlijk voedsel en schone lucht en een gezondere toekomst op een bewoonbare planeet! Alsof geluk volstaat om ons te beschermen tegen de gevolgen van winst-waanzin."

"Carry cheerfulness as well as positive vibes with you and leave a trail of joy wherever you go."

"I feel so glad to be alive!"

"If you follow your heart, you know true happiness."

"The "supreme good" and its attainment -- that is happiness. And joy is: response to happiness."

"My mind to me a kingdom is,Such present joys therein I find,That it excels all other bliss That world affords or grows by kind. Though much I want which most would have,Yet still my mind forbids to crave."

"The positive vibrations of unregulated joy, peace, happiness and tranquility is freedom."

"Life is a journey worth making."

"The subsistence mentality of a person is a prison in which his personal joy is detained. If you want to live in joy, you don't live for yourself alone. Live for others too!"
