IT MAY SHOCK YOU!!!
Joy is not a feeling but an attitude.
People wait to get a kick of feeling by what they do, have, see, relate, money, things, sex etc.
It is dangerous when you want to get joy from outside.
It works like alcohol or brown sugar.
When you start it gives a great kick. After wards you find that in order to keep the kick level, you have to raise the amount of intake.
But a time comes, even with a large intake, you don't get the high feeling.
Your body is so accustomed to it that you have to keep on taking it.
Now instead of high feeling you may feel dissatisfaction and emptiness.
At this stage, many end their life by committing suicide.
This is what happens to those who chase a high feeling.
Here is the good news!
So you can CHOOSE it irrespective of your outward circumstances.
This is what happens to a social worker in a third world country. There is nothing to give him or her joy in that surrounding. They arm themselves with an attitude of joy.
In the morning first thing one should do is Putting on the attitude of Joy.
Before you enter Office or meet a person reload your attitude.
When you feel down, don't search for person, thing or action which will give you joy, but rework your attitude.
Joy is an attitude - so it is your choice.
Since you can choose - it is in your power to be joyful.
If you choose to be joyful - you can have joy 24 X 7 !!!!
