Joy they say is a state of mind
Maybe it is but one thing is sure you can not feel joy
Until you accept your situation
The road to joy is a road of self acceptance
Once you are at peace with your life
Will you then truly experience joy
It matters not how successful you where before
It matters not how hopeless life seems now
What matters is that you are content with where you are
And hope for a better future
You must look back on this time
And think not of how hopeless it was or how sad
But of the joy you felt in those hard times
Regardless of how small or insignificant
Focus on the bright side and joy will come to you
