Last year, I wrote about happiness and joy. I talked about how happiness is fleeting, but joy is a state of being. I still feel that way.

Now, don’t get me wrong – both are extremely important parts of life. The surge of happiness at the sight of a butterfly, the sustained joy of loving and being loved. I would never want to live without either of them.

Always remember – you are deserving of joy. You are deserving of happiness. 

You are worthy of both.

Today, let’s embrace that joy within us. Whether it’s the size of a kernel, or the breadth of the sea, let’s embrace it.
