Joy

"Life is a gracious sacred-breathe."

"Life is gracious sacred-breathe."

"Be fully present in the sacred-moment."

"Let joy of the Lord make you rejoice."

"Be grateful. You have enough and abundant life"

"Be thankful for all that you have."

"Living life with contentment is the greatest well-being."

"Oh my friend from future centuries, I am leaving my love and endless good wishes for you. I have no possessions to leave for you. I have a broken pen and a few pages of paper with thoughts that I am leaving for you. Believe in the power of your thoughts, truths of your perceptions, magic of joy in your dreams, and the attraction of your love and purity."

"To be happy without your wants is greatest contentment."

"Contentment is joy of life."

"How much joy have I missed in life because I was too afraid to enjoy?"

"Cultivate the habit to write gratitude daily."

"If you had to lose everything, what would you miss most? It wouldn't be anything gross, like the big house, or the fancy car, assuming you had such things. It wouldn't be your impeccable reputation, or fame, or the regard of others. No; if you had to lose everything – I mean EVERYTHING – it would be the things you most take for granted now that you would miss. It would be different for each person, and it would probably surprise you to know what it was: a lilac tree in flower, the sound of a train in the distance, the smell of marmalade or hot buttered toast. Rain on a windowpane. A fruit thingummy."

"You will find joy in everyday life with a heart of thankfulness."

"This is a feeling that you had, Quentin,' she said. 'Once, a very long time ago. A rare one. This is how you felt when you were eight years old, and you opened one of the Fillory books for the first time, and you felt awe and joy and hope and longing all at once. You felt them very strongly, Quentin. You dreamed of Fillory then, with a power and an innocence that not many ever experience. That's where all this began for you. You wanted the world to be better than it was."

"Is there plenty of celebration in your life? How about your spiritual life? Is it an exercise in following rules and practices? Or does it look more like a joyous celebration?"

"Your sacred time is now! Begin to live passionately."

"I still have joy in the midst of struggles."

"When we sing with love, everything around us listens with joy."

"I am grateful for all the goodness of God."
