Joy is often the result of preparation.

We tend to think joy arrives unexpectedly, but many of life’s happiest moments are created long before they happen.

Want to enjoy a beautiful meal? Make time to buy fresh, delicious ingredients and set aside an evening to cook and enjoy.

Want to feel healthy, energetic, and strong? Prepare by scheduling regular exercise and planning good meals.

Want to treat yourself to something special? Start putting a little money aside each month so that, when the time comes, you can enjoy it without stress or guilt.

“Joy isn’t always something we stumble upon. More often, it’s something we make space for through the choices we make today. Preparing for the things that matter is one of the simplest ways to create more joy in everyday life”

One life, live it with more joy, preparation, and kindness
