It's funny; sometimes life brings the best out in you and sometimes it brings the worst. Life is a journey and it's not always fun. Sometimes you're weary and tired, sometimes you can't help but smile at all the joys it brings. But if there's one thing I've learned, it's to always choose joy.
Joy is something different than happiness or just smiling. Joy is what's in your heart and the overflow of it into your actions. Joy is not being angry inside and faking a smile on the front; joy is your appreciation and love for God always being visible. It's a "from the inside out" thing that can only be on the outside if it's on the inside. This doesn't mean that you can never get angry or sad, but it means that when you do, you overcome your emotions by the truth of the Spirit in you. The trick to master your emotions before they master you. It's a simple time game that keeps you up to date with yourself. We all let loose every once and a while, that's part of being human. But, never use imperfection as an excuse to go against God's law. It's not impossible to be turn a negative emotion into a happy ending.
