One of my favorite words is joy. I even gave my first daughter the middle name Joy.
My Brooklyn Joy!
Studying what it looks like to have joy, I have discovered there is much more to this little word then we first give it credit for.
What is Joy really and what does it look like?
According to merriam-webster.com, the definition of joy is:
-a feeling of great happiness.
-a source or cause of great happiness: something or someone that gives joy to someone.
-success in doing, finding, or getting something
All these definitions are great and even believable. I agree joy can be a feeling of happiness and I sure feel happy when things are going well! I use the word when I am feeling happy, elated and joyful. But is that all? Is there more to this little three letter word?
Everyone loves to have joy in their life. But how do we get joy in our lives?
Do we find it, earn it, buy it or are given it?
The world would like you to think this is how you get joy.
