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

Stop waiting for joy to come to you. You are going to wait forever. Stop trying to get it by force. It won’t happen. Stop searching. Searching brings no joy to your life. The only way to receive joy is to give joy to other people. They need it. They need it more than you do. You can get whatever you are looking for if you can help other people get what they are looking for. Give out what you are looking for. Don’t search for joy, give joy to other people. Because you have enough joy within you. Just allow your joy to live, to expand, to exist. Everything you are looking for is already within you. You have it within you. Just allow yourself to live your life. Just allow yourself to give joy to other people. Joy is not what you search for; it is what you give. Just live your life. When you focus on what you already have, joy will come to you. When you celebrate your life, joy will come to you. When you know who you are, joy will come to you. When you know you already have enough joy in your heart, joy will come to you. Remember, you won’t receive what you are not willing to give to other people. So if you want to receive joy from other people, you must first give joy to others.

“He who has overcome his fears will truly be free.”- Aristotle

Fear is part of life. To live your life, to do what you are afraid to, to get out of your comfort zone, you must take action. To do what you want to do with yourself, you must use love to conquer fear. Only love can conquer fear. Use love to remove fear from your life. There is nothing that love cannot create. With love in your heart, you can do anything. Before you start anything, my friends, think love. Think love thoughts. Remove fear thoughts from your mind. When you think fear thoughts, you attract more fear thoughts into your life. When you think love thoughts, you attract love into your life. When you fear something, do not run away from it. Try to understand it. When you understand it, you won’t fear it. We fear what we don’t understand. We don’t fear what we know. That is why so many people hate change. Because change is vulnerable. It brings chaos. It destroys routine. It takes people out of their comfort zones. But you can live your life with love. Live love. Breathe love. Carry love in your heart. Don’t fear what you don’t know. Instead, learn more about it. There is power in learning. Always learn something new. Learning cures fear. Whatever you want in your life, you can get. Do not let fear be the obstacle to your success. Remove it with action. Action cures fear. Action builds confidence. Action brings freedom. Remember, only love can set you free. So if you want to free, carry love in your heart. With love, with action, you can overcome your fears. With love, with compassion, you can overcome your fears.
