Joie de vivre

This French phrase translates as the joy of life. It describes an attitude of fully embracing the joy that is present throughout the day. This approach to life is a matter of choice. Imagine your day filled with joy acknowledging what is good in your life. It would consist of continuous gratitude for all that you have. You might question this approach to life by focusing on what is missing rather than what you have. In doing so we attract more of what we lack in life. This is often referred to as self-fulfilling prophecy. What would your day be like if you awoke each morning with the intention of appreciating all that you have? When the day doesn’t proceed in the way that you planned, think of it is an opportunity for something even better to replace it. Consider it to be a gift that manifests itself for your greater good. Always send out your intention as “This or something better.” Connect with the Universe as the source of joy and happiness. Then watch what happens. How are you experiencing joie de vivre today?
