Today I was reflecting on joy and what it's really about. I feel that joy is more of a decision and mindset than a feeling. I find that I can experience joy through many things that would seem trivial with the wrong attitude. I can find joy in driving, talking to someone, or helping a friend. I have felt joy through writing and helping others. Joy seems to be the ability to be happy doing anything and I find it reflects a lot of our own happiness into the world around us. If we can manage to be happy and stay positive through the difficult situations, then the things we want to experience and enjoy seem even more fulfilling. I don't feel like everything that happens in life is something we necessarily want, but if we can find joy in the ability to learn from these perceived "negative" experiences, then we can find joy in anything. What do you think? Namaste.
