Sources of your joy are also sources of your sorrow if you are attached to them and want them to last forever.

 When you are sorrowful, look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. ~ Khalil Gibran

Joy and sorrow are from the same fabric. They have same energy. One contracts us and one lifts us up. Sources of your joy are also sources of your sorrow if you are attached to them and want them to last forever.

If you want to live fully, be prepared for both energies and ride their up and down waves without any attachments on how long they should or should not last. If you are currently feeling sorrow, know that you have found a source of your joy hidden in your sorrow.

Sorrow & Joy

If food is a source of your joy, it is also potentially a source of your sorrow.

If being yourself is a source sorrow, it is also potentially a source of your joy.

If your relationship is a source of joy, it is also potentially a source of your sorrow.

If your thoughts are a source of your sorrow, they are also potentially a source of your joy.

If your children are a source of your joy, they are also potentially a source of your sorrow.

If your family is a source of your sorrow, they are also potentially a source of your joy.

If your job is a source of your joy, it is also potentially a source of your sorrow.

If your creativity is a source of your sorrow, it is also potentially a source of your joy.

If your freedom is a source of joy, it is also potentially a source of your sorrow.

If your wealth is a source of your sorrow, it is also potentially a source of your joy.

If your health is a source of your joy, it is also potentially a source of your sorrow.

If your pet is a source of your sorrow, it is also potentially a source of your joy.

If your attitude is a source of your joy, it is also potentially a source of your sorrow.

Ride the waves of joy and sorrow with no attachment or guarantee to last!

My pet was the source of my joy until he was killed by a larger dog and became the source of my sorrow. Never wanting to deal with that kind of sorrow again, I choose not to have a pet.

Riding waves is what I'm good at. Reading poetry sometimes, I find that many are not.
