The Joy of Living

Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the ouside as a mask. People who have this joy do not need to talk about it; they radate it.

And those who have and exhibit the joy of living are never those who have been without worry, sorrow, failure, disappointment, and discouragement. They are rather those Who have suffered and conquered, and who are willing to bear their share of the vicissitudes of life uncomplainingly.

The joy of living never comes to the frivolous, the superficial, the selfish. We can never get it by working for it directly. It comes, like happiness, to those who are aiming at something higher. The joy of living comes from what we put into living, not from what we seek to get from it.

We Are on a Journey

Wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest; we are on a journey. Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. We gaining something, or losing something, every day. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing, for the mere advance of time is a change. Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? Yes, you must be a little nearer to some port or other; for since your ship was launched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single moment. The sea is too deep; you could not find an anchorage if you would; there can be no pause until you come into port.

Life is too short to be little

We men are imperfect beings, so conflict among us are unavoidable. Inevitably, we sometimes feel injured, insulted, or slighted. Perhaps we put our faith in another, and were disappointed.

Such experiences are painful indeed, but is it not foolish to let them occupy our thoughts and precious time? For what dose it profit us to dwell on trivial matters? The priceless days must be spent meaningfully, joyfully. Stop dwelling on the past and live in the present! It is far better to make the most of every moment by filling it with purpose or appreciation.

Next time you feel tempted to nurse a grievance, consider this thought that life is too short to be little.

Have Faith in Others

Belief is a happier state of mind than doubt and suspicion. I live by this, for I don't have faith in others, who believe in me? I would rather believe in a thousand people, friends and strangers than not believe.

Belief in people should be accomplish with open your eyes and clarity of judgment. But when your judgment proves bad rather than good, it is no reason to suspect your companion thereafter with suspicion.

None knows another's heart, his grief, his struggle, his despair and motivation. All men share pain and mortality, some bear these better than others. And a large number of people have perished spiritually for the lack of another's belief in them. So, I would rather be disappointed than be so afraid of being disappointed that I would not trust anyone again.

Youth

Youth is not just a stage of life, it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees, it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions.

Youth means the predominance of courage over timidity, adventure over the love of ease. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt, self-distrust, fear and despair, let us bow the head.

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the love of wonder, the undaunted challenge of events, the unfailing childlike appetite for what may happen next. You are young as long as you have faith, hope and self-confidence, you are old as long as you have doubt, fear and despair.
