Joy, Appreciation, Growth

What will bring you the greatest joy in life? This is the question that you should always be asking, as joy is what you want your life to be filled with. One of the greatest sources of joy is growth as a spiritual being. As you grow in spiritual understanding your joy will automatically increase. However, even more joyful is the desire to contribute to the growth of others. This will bring far greater joy to your life than anything you can do to benefit yourself. When you appreciate the goodness and value in each and every living being and seek to provide whatever support you possibly can in their path toward spiritual awakening then you will actually experience a satisfaction that completely dwarfs any pleasure that can be gained from anything the material world has to offer. Make this pursuit of growth and quest for joy your reason for living and you will find that your life will become a sea of ecstasy no matter what the challenges you may face.
