Have you ever looked and looked for something, only to find it in the place you’d least expect it?

This same scenario usually happens when we go looking for happiness and joy.

We search and search for it everywhere, and usually only find it when we stop trying to find it and instead just start doing something useful with our time, like helping other people.

Lots of wise men and women have given us the detailed map to find joy, but we usually have to go through the whole hunt for ourselves, before we eventually wind up where they told us we’d find the joy we were seeking.

In addition to sharing my insights on finding joy, I also share five of my favorite (and I’d say best) quotes on joy, from some of the wise people I mentioned.

Here they are:

  1. “Only a life lived for others is a life worth living.” ~ Albert Einstein
  2. “I don’t know what your destiny will be, but one thing I do know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who have sought and found how to serve.” ~ Albert Schweitzer
  3. “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” ~ Ghandi
  4. “Increase your joy by doing the good you wish to have done to you.” Daisaku Ikeda
  5. “I slept and dreamt that life was joy.  I awoke and saw that life was service.  I acted and behold, service was joy.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Quote of the Week:
