Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

Joy always

Whether rain pours down or the sun shines bright, this is a day for joy. When things go as planned and also when they don’t, the time is right for joy.

If you limit your joy to only certain circumstances, you’ll fail to have it when you could use it most. Choose to be joyful no matter what, and even on the darkest days you’ll brighten the world with your presence.

Let your joy sweeten the victories and ease the defeats. Let your joy shine its light on a positive way forward no matter what the past has been.

Live with joy in your heart and put the power of gratitude, integrity, love, enthusiasm and persistence into your life. Live with joy, do your work with joy, and you’ll be more effective at everything you undertake.

Joy is a choice that will give you great power. When you feel positive about life, you are able to do great things.

You never have to be a victim because you always have the option to be joyful. Choose that option, live with joy through every moment and you’re sure to be your very best.

— Ralph Marston
