Living in Joy.If we become heavily dependent on our surroundings for joy, then we allow room for disappointment. Change your perspective in order to live joyfully.
We cannot always change our surroundings. Circumstances may appear that are out of our control. Events may occur that we cannot influence. That is life. However, we can control our perspective.
Reposition your perspective. Since we cannot always reposition our surroundings, joy must commence from our outlook. Two people can look at the same situation and see two entirely different perspectives. One individual can see an ordeal or doom while the other individual can see an opportunity or new beginning. Which perspective do you choose to have?
Focus your perspective on the reality of the situation. What is the reality? Well for one, the past is the past. It should have no place in the present nor inhibit or delay your future. What else? The circumstances or events weighing you down today are only temporary. Your heart will heal; it will not stay forever broken. And another reality? Material things are just that - material. The latest shoes or hottest clutch should not define your inner joy.
Permanent joy exists beyond the temporary, beyond the material, and beyond our immediate environment. Joy comes from grasping the true significance and essence of life.
