Joy is an individual thing. Each of us experiences it differently.
For me, it starts with no worries about food, shelter, or discomfort. Then there are simple movements for the body to keep it healthy. Shelter means a place of my own where I feel safe, can rest, restore my energy, and exercise my mind to keep it working right.
You can’t be happy or content without joy in your life. You also can’t be happy without something that makes you smile.
So, remember:
1) Engage in the pursuit of happiness
2) The mind is a terrible thing to waste
3) The body is a temple
