Joy is found in daily moments of gratitude from "summary" of The Little Book of Joy by Dalai Lama,Desmond Tutu

The key to experiencing joy in our lives lies in cultivating a sense of gratitude for the simple daily moments that bring us happiness. It is not always the grand gestures or extraordinary events that fill our hearts with joy, but rather the small acts of kindness, the moments of connection with loved ones, and the everyday blessings that we often overlook. When we take the time to pause and reflect on all that we have to be grateful for, we shift our perspective and open ourselves up to a deeper sense of joy. It is in these moments of gratitude that we can truly appreciate the beauty and wonder of life, even in the midst of challenges or difficulties. By practicing gratitude on a daily basis, we train our minds to focus on the positive aspects of our lives, rather than getting caught up in negativity or worry. This shift in mindset allows us to experience joy more fully and consistently, as we learn to find happiness in the present moment, rather than constantly chasing after something in the future. When we approach each day with a grateful heart, we begin to notice the abundance of blessings that surround us, from the warmth of the sun on our skin to the laughter of a child playing nearby. These small moments of gratitude serve as reminders of the preciousness of life and help us to savor the joy that is always available to us, if only we take the time to notice.
  1. Joy is not something that we need to seek out or strive for, but rather something that we can cultivate within ourselves by practicing gratitude and embracing the simple pleasures of everyday life. When we learn to find joy in the small moments of gratitude, we discover that true happiness is not a destination to reach, but a way of being that we can choose to embody each and every day.
