I've come to learn that joy is not the absence of problems, nor is it the guarantee of perfect conditions—it is a choice we make every single day. In my own journey, I have faced moments where discouragement seemed easier than hope, where worry felt more natural than peace. Yet, in those moments, I discovered that joy is not handed to us by circumstances—it is something we decide to carry within us. I choose joy because it reminds me of God’s faithfulness, even when the road is uncertain. I choose joy because it fuels resilience, strengthens faith, and keeps purpose alive. Most of all, I choose joy because it is a gift I can share with others—spreading hope, light, and encouragement wherever I go. So today, I encourage you: no matter what you face, choose joy. It may not change everything around you immediately, but it will surely change everything within you. #ichoosejoy #joy #purposeconsult
