Champagne for the Soul Quotes

“Happy people have just as much pain as anyone else, in some cases more. It could even be argued that the happy feel pain more acutely than the unhappy, whose feelings are relatively numb. The real difference in happy people is that they’re not trapped by their pain. Rather than settling inside a happy soul, pain moves through it as through a channel, and that channel is joy. Joy keeps pain moving.”
― Mike Mason, Champagne for the Soul: Celebrating God's Gift of Joy

“But since nobody pays us to be happy, regularly we call in sick.”
― Mike Mason, Champagne for the Soul: Celebrating God's Gift of Joy
