PRINCIPLES
OF JOY:
- #1 We can always start
by counting our blessings. In spite of all the
seeming turmoil of life, there is always a blessing
somewhere to be found. Just the fact that we are able to
look for a blessing is a sure sign that there is one.
There is something inherent within the act of counting
blessings that guarantees that as long as you keep
counting, you will never run out of blessings to count.
- #2 Sing . Sing a joyful
song. Sing
to your heart’s content. It does not matter whether
you sound like an opera singer or a mouse. What matters
is that your heart is filled with Joy. Start singing a
joyful song, and don’t stop until your heart is
singing with you!
- #3 Share your talent to
the delight of others. Whatever gift God has given you, give
likewise to humanity. If you are a writer, write a
message to inspire and uplift someone. If your are an
artist, create a work of beauty that gladdens the heart
of others. If you are a composer or musician, create or
play a musical composition which makes the heart thrill.
If you have the gift of gab, gab with kindness and joy so
that others will be encouraged and inspired by your
words. If you are a comedian, create wholesome laughter
without obscenity. If your gift is healing, keep your own
heart merry. “A merry heart does good like a
medicine.”
#4 Work with Joy. Whatever work you do, do
it with delight, knowing that it is an important function
in the overall service to humanity.
#5 Live
in the center of your Joy, and watch how contagious your
joy becomes.
