How Joyful Habits Go Beyond Mere Happiness

By Christopher Bell


When it comes to being happy many people look to circumstances and situations to make them happy. It is also a conscious choice to be happy. Joy, on the other hand, is a completely different state of being that rests on guiding principles individuals live by. Here is how to develop joyful habits that enhance your 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.

We must also realize that there is good in all things whether we can immediately see that or not. There is good in everything and everyone we encounter and the sooner we realize this fact the more joy we will be filled with. We will find that instead of focusing on problems we look more for solutions to the problem and see opportunities where others may see failure.

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.

The state of being joyful is a mindful one and if you develop the habits needed to create joy and peace inside of you, you will also find that happiness soon flows forth from your life more naturally and others will be attracted to that joyful state of being and happiness that you exude.

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.
