Live a Joy-filled Life

Imagine waking up each morning and making a conscious decision that the day will be perfect no matter what happens. Imagine the energy and the great attitude that you will have throughout the day. Our whole being lights up when we choose to be positive. You will notice how things work better and how people have a better attitude with you.

I am pretty sure you have heard the saying that it is not the situation we face but our attitudes while going through the situation that matters. Yes, things are looking rough, the economy appears to be down, gas prices are to the sky, and there are a host of things that can be listed that are not great. How come some people always have a smile no matter what is going on in their lives or in their environment? They choose joy.

I choose joy. We sing a song in church that says, “This is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Let us be grateful for waking up to see another day. Let us be grateful for all the wonderful things and people that we have in our lives. No matter how bad, you think things are, there is always someone who may be having a worse experience.

Let’s choose joy today and every day. Notice how things appear different in your life just because you choose joy. Notice how different you feel and the increased energy that you have because choosing joy increase your adrenaline. Take a break from the status quo and live joyously.
