Joy is what we are, not what we must get. Joy is the
realization that all we want or need in life has been
etched into our souls. Joy helps us see not what we are
"going through," but what we are "growing to"--a greater
sense of understanding, accomplishment, and enlightenment.
Joy reveals to us the calm at the end of the storm, the peace
that surpasses the momentary happiness of pleasure. If we
keep our minds centered on joy, joy becomes a state of mind.
