How Joyful Habits Go Beyond Mere Happiness

By Christopher Bell


Joy is a state of being that comes from deep within unlike happiness that is a conscious choice we make whether we actually feel it or not. The natural by product of joy is genuine happiness. Learn how joyful habits go beyond mere happiness to bring us to a more fulfilled life.

The first habit those with joy develop is the mindset that they are not going to take things too personally. They realize that circumstances are beyond their control and are not always favorable to them, yet they are more accepting of them and do not focus solely on themselves and allow themselves to become emotionally involved or stressed about things. They simply let events unfold as they should and in this, they find more joy in life once they accept circumstances for what they are something outside themselves.

We must also realize that there is good in all things whether we can immediately see that or not. There is good in everything and everyone we encounter and the sooner we realize this fact the more joy we will be filled with. We will find that instead of focusing on problems we look more for solutions to the problem and see opportunities where others may see failure.

Being in a state of joy means having patience with other people and situations around us. Developing patience is one key that eliminates stress because when we realize that the only one we can control is ourselves and our emotions and actions and reactions to things this frees us to have more patience with the outcome of things around us. This patience breeds more joy inside of us and allows us the freedom to live life and let things be as they are without our interference and frustration.

Being in a state of joy one realizes that for everything there is a time and a place. They allow events and circumstance to be what they are and do not try to control them or influence the outcome. They just simply let things be as they are and find that life takes care of itself if you allow it to. This brings a world of peace and joy within.

Knowing who you are and your purpose in life will also help you to develop a joyful state of being. Just knowing who you are and what you stand for brings peace of mind and happiness. You are in touch with who you are as a person and no matter the circumstance surrounding you nothing can take that knowledge away from you. You will know how to handle events in life that unfold and what your true purpose is in this life and live it. In this state of being dreams and goals are fulfilled and the ultimate state of joy is achieved.

Being mindful and finding and developing that state of being called joy creates an everlasting peace that is unshakeable inside us. You do not look for happiness outside yourself because you have the ultimate joy within.

Find your purpose and passion in this life by developing that deep seated joy in life that eludes many. This joy carries over to all aspects of our lives and drives us toward the success we long for. This joy is developed through efforts that we put forth to bring it about and being mindful of our actions and emotions at all times and how we choose to react and interact with the world around us.
