Joy is not in things, it is in
us.
Charles Wagner:
A revered speaker whom Theodore
Roosevelt once invited to the White House, Charles Wagner began as a poor
French preacher shunned by the orthodox sect of his church. In his best-known
book, "The Simple Life," he insisted that we control our own
emotional fulfillment as much as external circumstances do.
Despite the adversity he faced, Wagner found
joy by following his internal compass: He started his own church, wrote nearly
30 books, and founded organizations to support the working class. His life is a
reminder that your current situation doesn’t have to control you; indeed, your
outlook and mindset can change the situation, and cultivate joy even in the
most difficult times.
