True joy Quotes

“We are fragile creatures, and it is from this weakness, not despite it, that we discover the possibility of true joy.”

“Walk in kindness toward the Earth and every living being. Without kindness and compassion for all of Mother Nature’s creatures, there can be no true joy; no internal peace, no happiness. Happiness flows from caring for all sentient beings as if they were your own family, because in essence they are. We are all connected to each other and to the Earth.”

“Often person X can only find happiness when they feel that person Y can see how happy they are... This is the lowest level of happiness - what I call the tyranny of happiness. I like how Brian Miller draws a contrast between the tyranny of happiness and true joy.“Unlike [the tyranny of] happiness, joy is never in our power. It’s not something we can make or choose for ourselves. Instead it’s the sensation that Lewis says jumps under one’s ribs, tickles down one’s back, makes one forget meals and keeps one delighted. It’s an enormous comfort, under all this pressure to be happy, to remember that you don’t have to be in control. You can instead be surprised by joy. – B. Miller”

“Our true joy is like those sunglasses we’ve been looking for all over, suddenly realizing they’ve been propped on our head during our entire search. They’re already there, quietly waiting for us to reach up and realize they were never lost at all.”

“Without pain, how would we know what true joy feels like?”

“Be simple enough to feel the true joy of life.”

“True joy, as it turns out, comes only to those who have devoted their lives to something greater than personal happiness.”

“Inspire others without expecting anything in return. True joy is in giving.”

“Joy breathes from within,It is not in things but a sense of well-being,an inner peace in harmony with our soul.True joy in our life gives us more energy.Live joyfully!There are elements in the society and of this world that disrupt such inner joy, peace and harmony within our soul and how we may feel and carry this depends on our individual coping mechanism.”
