“Find a place inside

where there’s joy,

and the joy

will burn out the pain.”

This is a very practical quote,

whether the pain is mental or emotional.

We, as humans,

have the inherent capability

to transcend suffering,

and finding “joy”

is just one way of doing this.

Pain is unavoidable

but how we deal with pain

is a choice.

Finding

‘a place where joy is’,

especially in the mind and within our memories,

is a good way

of controlling this type of pain.

Saying positive affirmations

to ourselves

every single day,

even writing them down,

is a good way of filling our minds

with the joyful thinking

needed to ‘deal’ with the pain.

“JOY”

is a powerful and active force

to help us in everyday life.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
