Choose Joy

Nov 10, 2025 • Dr. Howard E. Jones Jr.

Joy is a decision and a presence one carries, not a feeling dependent on circumstances. Choose joy daily and use it as a source of strength, rather than waiting for it as a reward. Spread joy intentionally through actions like smiling and offering kind words.
