Life does its best to show you how to live it, but people most often are too busy doing other things. Joy is not the pursuit of happiness. It’s the recognition of love. If you pursue happiness, you will not know joy. Joy isn’t something you can have. It’s something that you live.

“Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.” Joseph Campbell (American prolific Author, Editor, Philosopher and Teacher, 1904-1987)
