Have A Nice Day

Wednesday is the hardest day of my weekdays. But anyway, forget the job and focus on the happy things what we have now. Here is one of the email I recieved from my friend (Yvette), simple email but give complex question in life. I wanna share to you. We need to have "Joy".

..... Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

1) If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
2) Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of work for years.
3) Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
4) Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
5) Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
6) Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
7) Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
8) Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

In addition we knew thats we live in "critical times hard to deal with." (2 Timothy 3:1-5). If we always remember, the times we endured the hardship in life and keep continuing serving Jehovah, this consider as "Joy", because we been walking far and almost in finish line. Here are some of the the bible text that I found on the watchtower library, about "Joy".
Joy is not something external. It is a quality of the heart. (Proverbs 17:22.)
External things such as family, friends—even a favorite food—can to a limited extent bring a feeling of joy. (Acts 14:16, 17)
Why, just anticipating something good can bring joy! (Proverbs 10:28.) True, the joy a person derives from external circumstances or material things can be short-lived.
