Choosing Joy

Morning Mantra: “The healthiest response to life is joy.”Most people think happiness is attached to pleasure, but the truth is happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. These all result in temporary feelings that are outside of yourself. As quickly as they come, they can leave and so does your joy.  Which is why we are always searching for the next thing to "make" us happy.Happiness is an inside job. It's the joyful spiritual experience of living in the now with love, grace, and gratitude. This joy-filled existence does not simply happen to us. We have to choose it every day and keep choosing it over and over.Choosing to look at the bright side instead of focusing on what's wrong with our life.  Choosing to help others in need.  Choosing to spend time reconnecting to nature and ourselves- every day.  Choosing to be here now- not regretting the past or worrying about the future.Your happiness is in your choices.#BeJoyFul #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #WordsToInspire #InspirationalQuotes #HorseHippieBoutique #SmallBusinessOwner #WomenOwnedQuote: Mark Twain
