SEEDS OF UNFAILING JOY

Spiritual nourishment is about getting connected to the power of love, life, and light. It can be found through traditions such as yoga, meditation, or prayer. Taking time to connect to the spiritual aspect of life can help us tap into a joy that is much richer than the joy that can be found in material pursuits.

Meaningful relationships feed our spirit. When we are connected to others in meaningful ways, joy can be found even on the darkest of days. Laughing, spending quality time, and being of service to others — these are just some of the ways joy can be found in our relationships with others.

We all need joy in our lives. Seeds of unfailing joy provide us with the nourishment we need to pursue the life we truly want. As we cultivate the seeds of unfailing joy within us, we can come to experience the true joy that life has to offer. […]

If you really exist, God, then you are partial and spiteful. Why must I suffer this way? If you are Good, then why do you allow evil to be a lot of those who put their trust in you; those who toil with the sweat of their hoes to make ends meet? God! God! G-o-d! Oh! God is dead”. […]
