Storms come our way. People
let us down. Life sometimes becomes difficult, especially when our health is compromised. Too many times bills come due, yet our money runs short. All of these things try to steal away our joy.
There are some things we can do, however, that will help us keep our joy even in the most difficult circumstances. Do you want to become a joy-finder? Following are a dozen things that will bring joy to your life.
1. Smile, even when you want to frown.
2. Sing a happy song.
3. Hug someone.
4. Say “I love you” to those who have hurt
you.
5. Open the windows and let the sunshine in.
6. Count your many blessings.
7. Understand that it’s not having what we
want that makes us happy, but wanting
what we have.
8. Focus on the positive.
9. Tell yourself that you feel good.
10. Concentrate on what doesn’t hurt.
11. Enjoy the “priceless” treasures in life.
12. Be grateful for everything, even the trials
we are facing.
