“We can be unhappy about many things, but joy can still be there…It is important to become aware that at every moment of our life we have an opportunity to choose joy…It is in the choice that our true freedom lies, and that freedom is, in the final analysis, the freedom to love.” – Henri J.M. Nouwen
Very true! I had this conversation with a friend yesterday; yes, you can feel sadness, irritation, anger – but feel them only momentarily and then try to shift your focus on to drawing the positive from a situation – looking for the joy xx
