Count Your Joys



Fyodor Dostoevsky once said, “Man only likes to count his troubles, but he does not count his joys?” Dostoevsky’s statement reveals an understanding of the human mindset. Joy is really an attitude. It’s as hard to describe as the wind –even though we cannot see it we still know it’s there. Think about the following situations:

  • Joy happens when you finally get together with your loved one after being separated for a long time even if you’ve had disagreements in the past.
  •  Joy occurs when someone who has come close to death in the line of duty returns to their loved ones. No one is happy that they nearly died, but they are filled with joy over being reunited.
Spend time counting your joys. It will enable you to overcome any negative circumstance in life. Not experiencing any joy lately? Give us a call. Comment here.
