How To Receive Joy

“We all need joy, and we can all receive joy in only one way, by adding to the joy of others.”- Easwaran Eknath

You can receive joy. But to receive it, you must first give it to other people. Remember that life is about giving, not taking.

It is just like putting money in the bank. If you want it to grow, you invest it. If you don’t invest it, it won’t grow.

When you give joy to other people, it comes back to you.

“We all need joy. We can all have it.” Give joy to other people, but do not let them control you. It is good to give joy to other people, but do not forget yourself. Because you matter.

How To Think To Rise

“You have got to think high to rise.”- Walter D. Wintle, poet

If you want to rise, to bring out the best in you, to challenge yourself, you must think to rise. You must challenge yourself. You do not have to do what other people are doing. You are free to choose your own path, to walk your own walk.

Do not let fear stop you from leaving your comfort zone. Remember why you are here.

Do not limit yourself. You have what it takes to win, to live, to do great things in your life.

Walter D. Wintle said, “Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster man; but soon or late the man who wins is the one who thinks he can.” Never think you can’t do something. Of course, you can! But you have got to believe in yourself.
