Joy

“Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.”
― Lao Tzu

“If you have done something meritorious, you experience pleasure and happiness; if wrong things, suffering. A happy or unhappy life is your own creation. Nobody else is responsible. If you remember this, you won’t find fault with anybody. You are your own best friend as well as your worst enemy. (99)”
― Sri S. Satchidananda, The Yoga Sutras of Pantanjali

“Shaucha, or living purely, involves maintaining a cleanliness in body, mind, and environment so that we can experience ourselves at a higher resolution.”
― Donna Farhi, Yoga Mind, Body & Spirit: A Return to Wholeness

“For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain.”
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
