If we want more joy in our lives, there are some key things we can do to ensure we get it. It’s a question of connecting to the source of joy which lies deep within us, not trying to find it outside of ourselves.

We have a choice about how we view the world, the situation we find ourselves in, and the thoughts and feelings that constantly arise. If we want to live joyfully, then we need to be prepared to take risks, and willing to face challenges head on. We also need to balance this with making time for ourselves, developing awareness, and encouraging positive emotions so that we truly nurture ourselves.

It’s important to let our unique purpose unfold, trusting that life will show us the path. When we’re kind to others, as well as to ourselves, we’re happier, and if we endeavour to slow down and live in the present moment, appreciating what life offers us, we taste eternity.
