[Faith-talk] FW: [PFS] Quote of the day for Saturday August 29th

[qubit]

Hi -- and thanks for this thought. I just wanted to add that I have learned 
this the hard way, and know it to be true. (Not all bad feelings are bad, or 
else we'd never be motivated to avoid pitfalls and extract bad things from 
your life, but when little general things get you down or depressed, it 
really is possible to think a positive thought and ignore the distractors 
that try to bring you down. I am not saying medical intervention is never 
necessary for depression, but just that we have this wonderful agency or 
free will to start thoughts moving in our mind that can move mountains.)
Have a good Sunday.
--le

Somewhere in this very moment there is joy. Choose to let it touch you.
You do not have to arrange for joy to appear, or coax it out of life. All
you have to do is allow it, and joy will be. Joy does not need a special
circumstance or elaborate condition. It only needs for you to let it arise.
In the tiny, unremarkable moments, joy is always ready and waiting. In the
magnificent, dramatic times it is there as well. Joy will be if you will
let it. Think back, and you'll see how often you've known this to be true.
Relax your defenses, open and expose your most authentic self to life. Joy
will surely reach and fill you. Ralph Marston
