"The root of joy is gratefulness...It is not joy that makes us grateful; it is gratitude that makes us joyful." Brother David Steindl-Rast
I love this quotation. it so true. Looking for joy from the experience of an event or how life will be after achieving a long worked for goal can often be anticlimactic. Which I experienced when I graduated from college as I have believed "then" life would be joyful. Or going out with friends, buying something, looking for the joy in the event often fails to deliver the joy sought.
It truly is that within, the feeling of gratitude of for what you have that delivers true and fulfilling joy.
Any thoughts you'd like to share?
Love you all,
Jacky
