Genuine enjoyment
Your enjoyment of life does not take anything away from anyone else. There’s nothing served by feeling guilty about feeling good.
Indeed, your own enjoyment has a positive impact on other people. So go ahead and enjoy.
On its own, your joy will not solve the world’s problems. Yet it can push you to be more effective at everything you do.
Joy connects you to what’s meaningful and beneficial. The more you enjoy your life and your world, the more inspired you are to make positive contributions.
Enjoyment does not require any elaborate setup, does not deplete scarce resources, is not a waste of time. Mostly it’s a choice to be thankful, positive, and optimistic about your situation and those who share it with you.
Bring a little joy to the surface, then act on that joy and spread it around. Give the gift of genuine enjoyment to yourself and to all the people you encounter.
— Ralph Marston
