Live joy, give joy

Genuine joy takes nothing from anyone. On the contrary, it inspires and encourages those who are in its presence.

Joy is a living expression of life’s goodness and value. To act with joy is to be of service to those around you.

In each joyful expression is confidence, competence, generosity, and infectious energy. Based in truth, consistent with reality, joy empowers in ways nothing else can.

Joy celebrates progress and recognizes potential. Joy resonates with beauty and brings positive purpose to the surface.

Rather than looking for reasons to avoid or dismiss joy, focus on what you can do to bring more of it into being. No matter what you have or don’t have, you can always give joy.

It’s a treasure that brings more treasure wherever it appears. Live joy, give joy, and continue to add more of its unique value to life.
