Granddaddy's Simple Secrets to a Life of Joy!

Produktbeschreibung

It was 1960s America. Few had air-conditioned homes or color televisions. New clothes and toys were only received on birthdays and on Christmas day. Families eating at a restaurant was an extravagance only experienced once or twice a year. It was a simpler time, and most thought they were happy. And they were!

Then the expansion of television broadcast media and advertising began telling everyone they needed more. Whiter and brighter clothes from the laundry and perfectly baked cakes from the oven. You deserve a break today, so go out to eat tonight. You should want more, and you should have it right now! Expectations were changing, and happiness was in peril if you didn't participate. A simpler life was slipping away.

But joy is found within and cannot be taken away. Happiness and joy are not the same thing. Happiness, like sadness, is temporary and fleeting. Joy is deep and enduring and more easily found through living life simply.

A grandfather wants his grandchildren to learn earlier than he did recognizing things that clutter and complicate life. Simple does not mean easy, nor does it mean to abandon dreams and goals.

Be grateful. Consider the perspective of others. Make good choices and own them. Live within your means. Show respect to others. Seek and develop a life of faith. Practice forgiveness. Don't let self-expectations or what others think control your life. Use critical thinking every day. These are some of the simple keys to finding joy.

Make joy your goal!
