Life is short but it can feel very long if you don’t experience joy and happiness. You may be wondering why you do not have the joy and happiness you want in your life. You may be kind of happy, kind of joyful, but you want more. You expect more. You deserve more. I believe that happiness and joy are not given to us. They are not increased with possessions or money. Others cannot make us happy or wrap joy up in a gift box with a fancy bow and give it to us. If you want your life to change, you must learn how to increase your joy and happiness — from the inside. You are the only one who holds the power and ability to control your joy and happiness. No one can do it for you. It IS an inside job! It is how you choose to live, how you choose to react, and how you choose to process your thoughts and experiences that control your level of joy and happiness. You can move the needle, raise the bar, and increase your joy and happiness level. You and only you have the power to create and increase these emotions in your life. I encourage you to be the creator of your joy and happiness. You are in control. When you realize that joy and happiness are always available to you with every breath you take and every thought you think, you grasp the power of creating an amazing life. Joy and happiness become the natural state of how you live and who you are. When hard times come (and they will), you will return to this space of knowing who you authentically are. Your natural intention is to be joyful and experience this life with the happiness of a child. Make your life a moment-by-moment choice to live in love and gratitude. When you create a practice of gratitude your life will change. Try it for a day. Be grateful with every breath – be grateful FOR every breath. Then be grateful for waking up in the morning. Be grateful for your first cup of coffee. Be grateful for your body and its ability to exercise and carry you through the day. Be grateful for your job and the people you serve – not work for but serve. Be grateful for your friends and family and the love they surround you with. Be grateful for every meal you eat, every sound you hear, and every feeling you feel. Be so filled with gratitude that you love every moment of your life. When you become overflowingly filled with love and gratitude, joy and happiness then become their echo circling back to magnify and surround you with the goodness you deserve. You have been given this precious life. Life is short and it is not to be taken for granted. Never lose your gratitude for a sunrise or the awe of a sunset. Never miss a moment when you could create feelings of love for someone important to you. Dance in this one magical life you are given. Shine in the power of love and sprinkle every step you take with gratitude. Be a creator of joy and happiness for yourself and others. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Pennie’s Life Lesson: Joy and happiness are within you and increase when you are grateful for all you have and all you are given. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ YOUR TURN...
