REFLECTION

There is a world of difference between joy and pleasure. Pleasure can be planned. Joy cannot it comes unexpectedly, and is all the sweeter for that. Pleasure is immediate. Joy often comes later, and the sweetest joy of all is that which follows pain. Pleasure comes from saying 'yes' to ourselves. Joy comes from saying 'no' to ourselves.
