I celebrate the small joys in life.

I celebrate the small joys in life.

Wednesday, 25 November 2009 11:13

Life is a series of moments and each moment holds a joy of its own. It might be a moment just bursting with great joy, such as when I hold my newborn baby for the first time, but most moments carry the small joys that provide me with a fulfilling life – day after day.

As Forrest Gump's mother said: "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." And just as every chocolate in that box is delicious in its own unique way, so, too, are the moments of my life.

The joys of the day start as soon as I wake up. I see my partner by my side and feel their love. I think about how lucky I am to be able to cherish the love of this good person.

I look out the window and see the beauty of the dawn, hear the birds harmonizing in glorious melody and, yes, even appreciate the sound of the cats meowing for their breakfast. I laugh as the puppy comes bounding onto the bed, happy for the new day, too.

I relish the warmth of the hot water in my morning shower. I love the smile of my baby as he wakes and enjoys his breakfast. I take pleasure in the sweet aroma of the coffee.

Moments like these continue throughout my day.

It is these moments that make me realize how blessed I am. And so I celebrate these small joys of life that bring so much happiness.

Today, I choose to be fully conscious of the individual moments of my day and receive with joy the blessings that each moment brings.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1. Do I start my day with joy?

2. Do I notice and appreciate the small joys?

3. How can I attract more of these joys into my life?

We started off badly with a poor telephone system that could not function properly over the internet followed by an electricity crisis, but after investing in ourselves we enjoyed the Kaizen Challenge very much. It has really changed our whole outlook and mindset on life, in so many ways. In the first place we realized Read more...

For all the years of my life I have been a workaholic & thought that this would produce my hoped for results in the long run, not realizing at the time, that this would be to the detriment of both my family life as well as my health. What a sacrifice! Now in my latter years, I realize that I underestimated myself & my capabilities, Read more...

This moment is light years away from where I found myself 2 years ago. It is at once the exciting end of a 49 day challenge that seemed to evolve from a two year journey, yet at the same time it has magic wrapped up in it like any wonderful new experience upon which one is about to embark, like getting married to your sweetheart or Read more...

The Kaizen challenge was invaluable in my life. Even my family is picking the fruits of my work, and now I want to enable them as well to create for themselves what Hannes helped me to create, and what we enticed them with. In all areas of my life I feel under control, I know for certain where I am going, and I feel that I am making progress. These feelings are, as many would say, “invaluable” and a feeling that money can not buy. It is one thing to have and... Read more...

I have always known that I am responsible for my own destiny – if I don’t like the way my life is panning out, only I can change it; I cannot expect anybody else to do it for me. The big question for me was how? I had been searching for something for so long, with the feeling that if I kept on looking eventually Read more...
