Does Life Leave You Feeling Hopeless and Joyless?

Guest Blog Spot: Louise Pistole

Does life leave you feeling hopeless and joyless?

In life, two roads spread out before you: one is full of loss, and the other is full of joy. If you thought you had the option to choose, you would surely walk down the path of endless joy every time.

HER STORY

Louise grew up with what she now knows were unmentionable family secrets. After losing her hero, Daddy, and then divorced, she struggled through life.

Feeling she had no choice, she went through the motions of daily activities and worked long hours in a stressful career.

She felt stuck in a time warp that did not allow her to move forward. She felt sad and alone for too many years.

Her internal light had flickered and grown dim. There was too much darkness in the shadows of life. Her joy-light was almost out.

A DAY OF HOPE

Even though Louise regularly attended church, one particular message changed her life. The minister spoke about joy and watching out for joy stealers.

Be joyful always. 1 Thessalonians 5:16

The word joy became her lifeline. She began to research, study and write about joy in her journals. She saw the possibilities of living a joyful life in the days ahead.

Spending time in prayer and reading God’s Word reconnected her to her internal light. She knew she could shine again!

A NEW STORY

Twelve years after hearing the message on joy, Louise released her daily inspirational book, Discover Your Joy.

Today, Louise is a best-selling author who inspires women to discover their own joy. She invites them to walk along the same path she takes every morning to choose between hopeless and joyful. Day after day, they will find the motivation to experience true happiness and lasting inner peace.

One reader said, “Each page in Discover Your Joy is a simple and beautiful reminder that the world may not be perfect, there will always be the ups and downs, but we can CHOOSE each day how we will use this gift we call life. I highly recommend this book!!”

Another one stated, “Pistole gives great insight into ways to remind us that our joy is important and to beware of ‘joy stealers.’”
