Joy is that kind of happiness that does not depend on what happens.

By looking up, by raising our eyes above our limited horizon, we are more likely to perceive the blessings hidden in affliction.

Eyes see only light, ears hear only sound, but a listening heart perceives meaning.

Joy is that kind of happiness that does not depend on what happens.

"The Holy Spirit . . . wants to flow through us and realize all these wonderful possibilities in the world - if we only open ourselves and allow it to happen."

Look closely and you will find that people are happy because they are grateful. The opposite of gratefulness is just taking everything for granted.

Any change in attitude changes the way one sees the world, and this in turn changes the way one acts.
