A
few days ago I started thinking what the difference between being happy and
being joyful? They both seem to mean the same thing.
Well
they probably are the same thing however joyful is more with expression. Other
words joyful means we are doing with a sound and being louder. Being happy in
my mind is with a smile while joyful is our voice along with jumping up and
down possibly. When you hear a child screaming and jumping I would call that
being joyful while having a smile is being happy. One is not any better than
the other just the circumstance and timing are different.
I
think being joyful you have to be in a place where others are not necessarily
at. Most of the time you can express your joyfulness in a room by yourself or
others that are doing the same thing; being happy and smiling we can do almost
anywhere.
I
believe being joyful is just another level of being happy. We can be happy all
the time if we choose to while being joyful does take special times. Other
words joy gets bottled up in us and then at some point we have to release it.
Whatever
the case it is important to be happy or joyful. It is sort of like exercising
where we can get more fit. I believe to that we can get stress bottled up in us
to and we must release it at some point. Being joyful would be a good way to
release that stress. I really wished
that we would not get stressed out but it does happen. I have to think more
about why we get stressed. I know what causes stress but it would be nice if we
would not be put in a position of stress. Anyway life is so much better when we
are happy and joyful than being stressed. The important thing is to change the
circumstances that cause stress and become more happy and joyful. Sure makes
life a lot better to deal with that is for sure.
So
I will conclude here by saying be joyful when the time permits. Find a place
where you can jump, scream and joyful. Release whatever is inside of you.
Remember this can be done when no one is around besides when they are. If you
haven’t been joyful for a while make today the day to do so. Be happy and
joyful I am sure you will feel much better. You can make it contagious for
others too.
