Choose Joy Quotes

“When I drop my kids off at school in the morning, I often frame my farewells with an emphasis on their responsibility to look for the good. Instead of saying, "Have a great day!" I'll say, "Choose to make it a great day!" Because I do believe it is a choice. We've all met people who seem to have it all and yet are completely miserable. And then we've met people who have next to nothing, have weathered many trials, and lost so much, yet carry themselves with such lightness. There's a Croatian saying that goes "Svako je kocač svoje sreće." It means "Everyone is a blacksmith of their joy." We should make an effort to create happiness in our lives instead of blaming our unhappiness on everyone else and everything else.”

“Peace on earth: It begins within ourselves. It is a decision that must be made by us, again and again. Am I trying to be "right" or loving? Am I feeding the fear or the vision of happiness? It is so infinitely easy to be led into the hell of the internal war by your doubts and real experiences. But I don't have to do it. I can choose to open my fists! I can choose instead to focus on my dreams; visions of kindness, understanding, compassion and loving joy.”
