 At Office

A job, by definition, is not necessarily fun,

or enjoyable. Work is hard. Dealing with
work stresses day in and day out is hard.
Learning how to find a balance in life the
stresses and pressures of work and life
outside of work is hard. Learning how to
offset this by creating a great place to work
is essential for your sanity, your success -
and the success of your company.
 At home

Remain positive when the house is messy, and

when the bills are due.

Find ways to solve the family problems in a

positive way. Try to get the family to smile in
the middle of the problem by spreading a
good attitude.
Exhorting one another is a way to bring
up joy in the midst of a problem, and
laughter is a good tool for getting a
good attitude in the middle of a bad
day. Laughter will keep the home and
workplace bright and cheery.
Your health depends on you keeping a good
attitude. Self-pity and stress will only bring
bad health and continued problems.

Joyfulness is contagious, and so is

the lack of it.

Those that have no joy can give no joy. Ask

yourselves, where do you get your joy?
My definition of joy is this: spirituality with
a tin can tied to its tail.
…Excitement about the things that you are
doing that are right and just.

Find joy in the fact that your family is alive,

healthy, and loves one another. Find joy that
you have a job and are blessed to pay the
rent, and have food on the table. These things
are important, and can bring you joy.
It’s sad that real joy can’t be found as
fast as self pity.

There is a sequence to finding real joy.

Priorities are the start. They must be in this
order:
J - Jesus
O - Others
Y - You
 Joy Kams (comes)

when we stop complaining

about the troubles that we
have, and start giving thanks
for the troubles that we don’t
have.
