Happy, 1) delighted, pleased , or glad
Joy 1) the emotion of great delight caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying.
Pretty much the saym right. WRONG...
Happiness is the pursuit of material objects, new cars, homes or even relationships. Lets think about it... How long does happiness stick around when we are happy about a new object, a day, a week. If we are in a relationship and we are using that relationship to help us with happiness then how long does it take to go sour. We find faults and misgivings about the people we supposively adore. We should be looking at ourselves, happiness is not something that sticks. That is joy.
Joy is the inner feeling when even bad things happy you can still smile. You dont lose the joy. Joy is the ability to be content in all circumstances. Joy is knowing the world around you is falling but you can still manage to move about with a smile on your face. It is a calmness and steadiness in troubled times. Joy is constinant and always there.
I am on that path where I finding joy not just happiness. I am not worried about what is going on around me, I am finding a peace and understanding to where I am joyful. I love that feeling. Here are a few of the things I was told that would help me and thought I would pass them along.
1) prayer or meditation which ever you prefer or your religious beliefs... mine are truely prayer it is a comfort for me to know that is always someone there to listen to me.
2) Try to see the good in yourself and others around you.
3) Forgive yourself of pass mistakes and forgive others.
4) Let go of hurts and hardships around you. In the end everything will work itself out.
5) Try to focus more on the positive rather than focusing on the negative.
