So given my feelings, my constraints, and the theme of this blog I felt the best way use Chasing Joy today was by sharing some joyful quotes, words of wisdom, from Muslims.
“You learn how to take care of people from the women in your life.” ~ Mehmet Oz
“A lot of folks believe their best years are behind them. But I want Americans to recognize that’s not true.” ~ Mehmet Oz
“Make the driving force in your life love.” ~ Mehmet Oz
“He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.” ~ Muhammad Ali
“I don’t have to be what you want me to be.” ~ Muhammad Ali
“What keeps me going is goals.” ~ Muhammad Ali
“Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.” ~ Casey Kasem
“Always be consistent.” ~ Casey Kasem
“Success doesn’t happen in a vacuum. You’re only as good as the people you work with and the people you work for.” ~ Casey Kasem
“We must tell girls their voices are important.” ~ Malala Yousafzai
“It is very important to know who you are. To make decisions. To show who you are.” ~ Malala Yousafzai
“I think I have a right to live my life the way I like.” ~ Malala Yousafzai
Not one faith has a monopoly on words of wisdom. Don’t you love a good quote?

I appreciate your way to express your thoughts within the constraints of the job you've chosen. Focusing on positive thoughts is always more beneficial!

I never thought about having a government job and not being able to say what you want. You handled your words of wisdom wonderfully.

These are wonderful, and they couldn't come at a better time. I see far too many people confusing Muslims with terrorists.
