Source of Joy

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile is the source of your joy. - Thich Nhat Hanh



This Buddhist holy man knows that we can change our moods by changing our behavior. Sometimes our joy comes from a simple decision to act kindly, give unsparingly or smile broadly. Too often we overvalue spontaneity and undervalue the decision to practice being joyful.
