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.

Develop the mindset that you are not going to take things personally. Know that every situation is not always favorable and that you should not be self-centered in thinking that they should be. Just let circumstances happen as they should unfold and you will find more joy in life if you are more accepting and open to changes around you rather than trying to control circumstances and events that are not in your power to control.

Those in a state of joy realize that there is good in every situation no matter what it is. They strive to see the good in others and always instead of focusing on the problem they look for solutions to those problems. They often find opportunities where others may see only failure. It is in their mindset that is always looking for the best in every circumstance they encounter.

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.

The habit of knowing that everything has a place and time to happen lets those who develop this habit learn to allow things and events and people to be and do what is needed and allow events to unfold as they should. This can greatly reduce the stress in your life and increase the peace and joy that you feel inside.

You must know yourself and your purpose and how you fit into the grand scheme of life. Knowing yourself well enough enhances your life and knowing your purpose and fulfilling it brings more joy than you can ever imagine and this breeds all types and manner of success. The successful person knows who they are and what they want out of life and simply lives it.

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.

Try to develop these methods in yourself daily and you will find yourself living the joy filled life. There are things in this life that often leave us baffled but the joyful person takes each life event and learns from it and creates the opportunities for themselves that lead to success. Joy is a state of being and a state of mind that can be developed slowly over time and with patience, you too can live a joyful and fulfilled life.
