Insight on Today's Quote
Joy isn’t something we chase—it’s something we choose. In a world obsessed with achievement, possessions, and appearances, we often forget that joy blooms in the stillness of a grateful heart. It’s found in small wonders: a kind word, a deep breath, a quiet moment. Joy is not conditional—it exists even in sorrow, because it’s rooted in perspective, not perfection.
