Day 16 – Appreciative-Joy (15 Min):
“Joyful appreciation is simply being happy when somebody else has good fortune, happiness, and peacefulness. Generosity lets us appreciate the happiness of others rather than having feelings of envy, jealousy, or wanting them to be just a bit less happy so we seem a little more happy by comparison… we’re actively fostering appreciation for the closeness and connectedness of the world.”
