Be Joy Filled !

1. Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day. ~~ Author Unknown

Just because everything doesn't go smoothly or as you may have wanted it to, doesn't mean the entire day wasn't good! Focus on the good things that will bring you happiness in the day and not all the things that went wrong or weren't as wanted.

2. If you want to be happy , be.

~~Leo Tolstoy

That may sound too easy and yet too difficult to accomplish. But, you have a choice every morning. You can start your day being happy or being miserable. The choice is yours. Some of you will need help doing this until it becomes second nature for you.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

3. The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer someone else up.

~~Mark Twain

When you're feeling depressed or simply not very happy, seek someone else who needs to be cheered up. Serving and helping others is a sure way of making you feel better as well. There's always pleasure and happiness in helping someone else.

4. Seven days without laughter makes one weak.

~~Mort Walker

Laughter is an excellent way to boost your happiness level. You simply cannot be mad and laugh at the same time!

5. Renew your passions daily.

~~Terri Guillemets

If you're stuck in the same daily schedule, you may not be experiencing joy and happiness to the degree you want to...unless of course you're already doing what you love and are passionate about! Every morning, renew your passions. Remember what makes you happy...what drives you, what you find joy in and do it! (or at least work on being able to do those things)

6. What a wonderful life I've had. If only I'd realized it sooner.

~~Colette

Many of us don't realize how wonderful our lives really are, until it's too late. Stop and list 5-10 things today that have been wonderful and happy in your life. Do whatever you have to do (as long as it's legal and moral lol) to achieve those things again. Don't let your life pass you by.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

7. People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness . Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.

~~H. Jackson Browne

Don't let what others are doing to find their happiness and joy affect how you find yours. Only you know what brings you true happiness. Follow your road to obtain that in your life, the others will catch up - they're just taking a different route.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

8. Happiness often sneaks in a door you didn't know you left open.

~~John Barrymore

We all have closed doors in our lives, or had doors closed on us. When that happens, we usually feel overwhelmed, stressed or at times relief and joy because it was a door that needed to be shut. Sometimes though, the doors aren't closed and locked. You may think you closed a door, but it's slightly ajar. Happiness can sneak up on you from places you may least expect it. Be open to receive it!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

9. Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.

~~St. Augustine

Make sure that what you're doing daily is in alignment with what needs to be done to achieve happiness. Many are wanting and yearning to be happy and experience joy but yet they go about their daily lives making that virtually impossible. Do things, and put yourself in situations and places where happiness and joy can be experienced!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

10. Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

~~Abraham Lincoln

This all goes back to having a choice. You've got to start every day with the mindset that you will experience joy and happiness somewhere in your daily routine. This isn't to say that every thing in every day will be joyous, but you can (and should, and will!) find happiness in every day...if you look for it and acknowledge it! So, today, tomorrow, the day after and every day after that...make the decision to be happy.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

11. Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

~~Mahatma Gandhi

This is the ideal way to find and experience happiness. Making sure that you're doing, thinking and saying are all in alignment with what will being you true joy! You can't have real happiness if you're thinking how much you hate your job. You can't have true joy if you're saying how miserable you are. You can't experience bliss if you're not doing what you're passionate about. Get all those in alignment and be joy filled!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

12. You need to learn to be happy by nature, because you'll seldom have the chance to be happy by circumstance.

~~Lavetta Sue Wegman

Don't be like the many people who rely on situations and circumstances to determine their happiness. You have to be happy no matter what the circumstance. If it isn't exactly as you'd like it to be, you can still find joy. If you rely solely on circumstances you'll be dependent on outside factors determining your happiness. You need to find joy and happiness within and experience it all the time...not just when a situation or event 'makes' you happy.
