Don't hold back the joy

I believe in thinking always of the joy there is in life because of God's love. Thinking of God's love for us brings me to tears. Everyday when I think of the joy I also think of every person in the world those I've met and are in my circle and those I have not met and are not in my circle.  Every single day that I focus on the joy which is everyday I pray for all others to have these same feelings of joy fill their heart to the rim and become overbursting with it.  I've never felt so pleased to share the joy from my heart and soul that is contagious with everyone. Even in our daily life when things may go a little wrong we need to put our focus on all the magic in life that comes from caring about others. When you make that your position in life you will never run out of things to be joyful about and others will follow your example. When I think about being there for others I get excitement that makes me want to burst out of my skin. Make yourself unselfish in life by caring about others and you will discover a new joy each day. Live like this 365 a year.
