Spoonful of Positive: Joy
“If we can just let go and trust that things will work out they way they're supposed to, without trying to control the outcome, then we can begin to enjoy the moment more fully. The joy of the freedom it brings becomes more pleasurable than the experience itself.” -- Goldie Hawn
“Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” -- Marianne Williamson
“Happiness is part of who we are. Joy is the feeling” -- Tony DeLiso
“Joy is to fun what the deep sea is to a puddle. It’s a feeling inside that can hardly be contained.” -- Terry Pratchett
“Do good, live in the most positive and joyful way possible every day.” -- Roy T. Bennett
“After the rain, the sun will reappear.
There is life. After the pain, the joy will still be here.” -- Walt Disney Company
