I define joy as a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace – a connection to what matters. – Oprah
find your joy
I’m going to be honest if joy is a sustained sense of well-being and internal peace, then right now, I am not very joyful. I don’t disagree with this quote, but on some levels I do disagree. I see BLISS as a sense of well-being and internal peace, and bliss is something worth shooting for. To me, joy can be fleeting, you can find it in the passing glance of a stranger, or in a flower or a song on the radio. When you get to a place emotionally that you are finding joy in everything around you and in all that you do, that’s when you’ve found bliss – the sustained sense of well-being and internal peace. So until I find my bliss, I will continue to search for joy all around me and take my happiness in the joy that I find. When you think about it, there is a lot around us to be joyful for, and with joy – comes bliss.
