where is the joy - joy to live

We all would like to live a happy, healthy and fulfilled life, yet very few seem to be able to do just that. Why must we have so much suffering, failures and disappointments? We just want to be secure in a loving relationship and a satisfying job with a good income and enjoy ourselves.

Instead, our relationships turn sour and bitter all too soon, we have a job that we do not like or we do not have one at all, there is never enough money and generally there is not much joy to be found anywhere. As a result we feel resentment, hopelessness, depression, perhaps also anger and hatred. Where and why did it all go wrong?

I believe that there is a way out of this depressing jungle of negativity and disappointments. I actually believe that we can make a decision to have a happy, fulfilled life and then really do it. What I cannot promise is that it would be easy. It needs either willpower and determination and most of all the help of good friends and close loved ones. But you have nothing to lose by trying and each step in the right direction is likely to bring some reward.
