Rediscover Joy: How to Find Joy in Everyday Events

First, we must make it clear internally in our thoughts that our goal is to make joy and pleasure our primary response to the surrounding reality. This is an important step that we must begin with. Likewise, we must not believe that happiness is a destination that we reach, and we should understand without a doubt that joy and pleasure are the paths, not the goal, here comes the question: how? Here we understand that happiness is hormones and internal chemistry in the body that can be created by following the ways and means that the happy people around us have done before. As our Egyptians say, “Whoever is next to a happy person will be happy,” so the matter becomes only the application of the best practices that happy people do. The concept that happiness is linked to the material things that we possess and that the more possessions we accumulate, the happier we will feel, is, of course, a wrong concept. I don’t underestimate the value of material things in our lives, as they give us a lot of freedom in choosing our lifestyle, but happiness, as we said, is an internal chemistry that occurs within our bodies we must learn how to create it.
