Get Out Of Your Box

"Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are." Marianne Williamson

 So many times I feel like we are stuck in the problem we are in. It is kind of like being stuck in a box, you can see everything that is on the inside of that box, but you have no sight whatsoever of the outside world. That box is our troubles, and if you are so stuck in your troubles all of the time, you will not be able to see and experience all of the joy around you. The space that those troubled thoughts take up leave no room for the joy that is waiting to come in, so get out of the box and let joy in! Get out into the beautiful life you are able to live and you will see why you should be joyful. As the quote from Marianne Williamson says above, "Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are." Look around you and notice all that you have. Notice how good you really have it even with all of the troubles you are facing. When you look at life this way, rather than being filled with worry, trouble, and distress you will be filled with an overflowing amount of joy. So just notice today how good life is and keep reminding yourself of how good you have it.
