Doing a mitzvah with joy

Mishpacha Magazine published an interview with Yaffa Smolensky, a woman in her seventies who is active in chesed organizations in Tzefat, Israel. One quote attributed to her will, hopefully, stand me in good stead in my approach to doing mitzvot.
But I tell myself, "if you do a mitzvah with joy, you get two points. If you do it begrudgingly, you only get one point. So if you're going to do the same thing anyway, you may as well get more points, no?"
