What Joy and Happiness Look Like


Listen Later

There’s a huge difference between “feeling” happy and “being” joyful. Happiness is an inconsistent feeling which is temporarily created by the meanings you create about your circumstances. Joy is a consistent mindset which is independent of your circumstances. 

If you’re hustling to “feel” happy, it’s much like:

  • a filmmaker over-relying on special effects at the expense of a solid story and wonderful characters
  • buying something new and getting giddy because of the novelty of the purchase
  • a chef adding too much salt, sugar, and oils to food to mask the lack of quality of ingredients
  • If you’re experiencing joy, it’s much like:

    • a filmmaker prioritizing an excellent scrip, plot and character development first
  • being satisfied with how you’re consistently using your purchase
  • great quality ingredients being the basis of a culinary masterpiece
  • I invite you to consider these questions:

    • What analogy do you have for happiness?
  • What analogy do you have for joy?
  • If you have something you’d really love to hear on the podcast, I would be giddy and grateful to hear all about it:
