How Joyful Habits Go Beyond Mere Happiness

By Christopher Bell


Happiness is often looked at as something that relies on circumstance and events. We also make personal choices to be or at least appear to be happy when often we are not. We have no joy in a state such as this. This is why it is important to develop joyful habits for a more fulfilled life and lifestyle.

Having the mindset of not taking things to heart or personally goes a long way in increasing our joy in this world. We often want to be self-centered and selfish when events and situations do not turn out as we expect them to. We must separate ourselves from circumstance beyond our control and realize that taking things personally only adds more stress to our lives and does not increase our joy.

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.

Another habit to develop is patience. Knowing that you can only control yourself, your thoughts, feelings, actions, and behavior will allow you to be more accepting of others and events that unfold in your life. You will have more patience with others and yourself. Knowing that you do not control things outside yourself will help you to develop the patience that you need.

A person of joy realizes that there are a time and place for everything. They do not try to force events to happen or get frustrated because things are not working out like they would like them to but simply accept the fact that everything has its own time and place and thus they have more peace and joy 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 of the state of being called joy breeds more joy. There is simply a peace and happiness that fills you from the inside and is not manufactured but genuine. It flows through you and attracts people and circumstances that only add to that joy inside you. Developing these habits will expose you to a whole new world you were not aware of before.

Daily practice of joy brings fulfillment and a life that is lived genuinely and completely. Many circumstances in life may threaten our joy and peace but if we hold fast to these beliefs and mindsets nothing can throw us off track or cause us to lose our joy. In time you will find that life is a simple sweet pleasure that is meant to be enjoyed and lived to the fullest.
