Joy

 

My life is filled with joy.

When I desire greater happiness, I choose actions and activities that cultivate joy. I allow praise, gratitude and positivity to become my daily companions. I build a strong circle of family and friends and support them by being cheerful and uplifting, encouraging and supportive. In turn, they encourage me. My joy grows as I share it with others. It is like the contagion of laughter—when one person feels joyful, others catch that spirit and the joy spreads.
Joy is a state of mind that can be nurtured and strengthened. Joyful thoughts, words and actions open the way for the energizing spirit of God to fully express in every aspect of my life. I feel vibrantly alive as I fill my life with joy.

He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouts of joy.—Job 8:21
