Happiness can be fleeting, hinged to the temporal, to circumstances, to getting. It is often conflated with joy. Michael Hines says that joy is something quite different. It is "doing the truth in love....a profound conviction that (this) is a good way to live life and spend one's energies and talents." This may be why joy is found in giving, particularly in giving the gift of our authentic self.
I say joy is access to sustained Peace.
How might you "do the truth in love" today, and for a stretch do it all day?
Peace.
Love,
Darlene
