And you may have heard this before, but I’m speaking to
those of you who haven’t.
Happiness is revolved around happenings. It means being
affected by the things that happen around you or to you in an everyday setting.
Say if things don’t go your way at work and you are “unhappy” with the outcome,
but then in turn you are joyful at the mere fact that you have a job. Therein
lies the difference.
Joy has more to do with your insides, your inner being. If
you have joy then that means there is something on the inside of you that is
consistently in touch with a bigger picture. If your inner being is aligned
correctly, then the possibility of finding joy through anything is great.
If you choose to live your life full of joy, you are
untouchable. True joy means having the ability to function in the midst of
madness. You may be unhappy, but you can also find joy in that. Joy does not
mean you will never be unhappy, and unhappiness does not equal no joy.
If your joy disappears it is because you let it disappear.
What is happening around you should not determine the length and width of your
joy.
Many may feel that if you don’t have happiness there’s no
way you can be joyful but this is a lie.
How do you think those people who can smile in the face of
destruction get through the day? That’s not simply based on the loose term
“happy.” There’s something on the inside of them that is untouched by the
darkest of nights. While the entire world is gloomy, they still have a light
shining from the inside.
To be able to say “I have joy” in spite of the craziness
around you should be something normalized. We should never be wishy-washy,
people who are swayed to and fro causing emotional wreckage. Don’t be an emotional
wreck. Find your joy and choose to dwell in it every day. You will not be
sorry.
