5: What Is The Difference Between Happiness & Joy?

Happiness…joy…happiness…joy. Are they the same thing or aren't they? What do you think? Did you know that happiness and joy are not the same thing? In this episode of the Positively Jane Podcast I am going to dive deep into both! There is a difference between happiness and joy. Happiness is what happens around you. Joy is what is inside of you. It lives in your mind and heart. Happy happens to you. Joy is a choice. Is is inside of everyone. Joy is your untapped reservoir of potential. It does not mean that everything is swept under the carpet. It does not mean that you don’t feel sadness, anger or fear. I CAN share a space with all of your emotions. Happiness relies on the things of life going the way you think they should go. Joy will bring peace…even in the face of unhappiness. I would like to encourage you to spend time figuring out what makes you grateful and thankful. When you are struggling with life…thankfulness can dispel the negatives…you can shift your focus from negative to positive. Happiness is a feeling based on circumstances. Joy is an attitude that defies circumstances. Compassion International gave me permission to share their happiness vs joy art print - free download for you.
