What does it take to add joy to our lives? I'm not talking about shopping, money, or any other material gain. I'm talking about how you feel about yourself. Are you a joyful person who strives to look at the brighter side of life? How you feel about yourself determines how you treat others. What steps do you take to add or keep joy in your life?
Following is a number of things, from Life's Little Instruction Book, Volume II by H Jackson Brown Jr, each of us can do, or improve upon, that would help us to look at life as a joyful experience rather than "Dang It! It's another day".
- Pay as much attention to the things that are working positively in your life as you do to those that are giving you trouble.
- Rake a big pile of leaves every fall and jump in it with someone you love.
- Memorize your favorite love poem.
- Learn three knock-knock jokes so you will always be ready to entertain children.
- Don't let weeds grow around your dreams.
- Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something.
- Regardless of the situation, react with class.
- Let some things remain mysterious.
