My evolving definition of joy

article image placeholderUploaded by @DefiningJoi
Finding peace with my morals, finding peace with my friendships, being around people who bring me peace, who make me happy. No drama, no nonsense. Now, that doesn't mean that none of them, and myself included have personal issues that we deal with, but we're actively focused on resolving those issues as opposed to just complaining about them and health factors into my death, definition of happiness, et cetera

Every day now, even if it's a tiny sliver, even if I'm very depressed, I do feel like I see it all around me much more just by kind of making sure that those foundational bases are covered. But, yeah, thank you so much for asking this. Not asking for sharing your evolving definition of joy

That is what I'm doing right now, and in many things. Because that's how humans are made, right? Nelson Mandela once said that a man's goodness is like flame. It can be hidden, but never extinguished. I believe that indeed, that statement is true. Our goodness, our capability of finding joy, well, at times when the times are very gloomy, we might have the ability to just lose it. But it is not the loss

I just wanted to come back and just say thank you so much for that response, because you really made me think a lot about what I was saying. And I just wanted to respond to you really quickly, because one of the things I heard you say is that when you are happy, I just want to remind you, please make sure that you really it in that happiness that you don't cheat yourself out of it

Thank you so much for that response. I really like the quote that you gave from Nelson Mandela. And I would just like to focus more on, you know, fanning that flame, that flame of joy. And I really appreciate that because I like that quote. Thank you very much

I am so glad that you liked that quote. I also adore it very much because it just tells you the truth, right? A man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished. So I believe. Let's have more conversations like this, and let's keep in touch. Ma'am

And I would say this because one time I became familiar with a homeless man who was at a stay in a homeless shelter, and he actually had a family in the shelter. I couldn't imagine that he was happy. But the way he spoke about his situation with just being with his family was joyous. I thought it was very uplifting, inspiring
