“Joy is something that we have to choose and then work for.”
“There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.”
“Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and keep choosing it every day.”
“If something isn’t working for you, then something else is working for you. Every situation is repairable if we choose not to be impaired or despaired.”
“If you choose your life's work well, something bewitching can happen through your labors. Each hour you log can be a source of joy.”
“Compassion is not a virtue -- it is a commitment. It's not something we have or don't have -- it's something we choose to practice.”
