Happiness vs Joy

Happiness vs Joy
Posted By: Kay McCoy on March 31, 2009





Happiness has room for failure but joy will last always
There r things we go thru in life that will deny any hopes for joy or happiness
The cares of this world r extreme and relentless
The moment u think u’ve figured it out a storm may come that might knock u right off ur feet
U have people that have different methods of how to conduct their everyday lives
Some choose to be nonchalant, or emotionless, or even overly sensitive

People who choose to be nonchalant use sarcasm against people to avoid getting hurt
People who choose to be emotionless build up walls so that people can’t get into them
People who become overly sensitive are easily offended because of their past hurts

These people that choose to conduct their lives in ways that constantly play either offense or defense lack self-esteem
Low self-esteem is REAL and it kills people everyday
Low self-esteem is to lack self confidence; to always see negative and not positive
When u have low self-esteem u r unable to have joy and the happiness that u constantly search for will always fail u

Joy says that I’m positive even when things in ur life denies it
Joy says that I am strong minded and that no one will convince me different
Joy says that no matter what happened in the past it will not affect my present and future

Don’t think about being happy because it only last for a little while
But when u have joy, u can wake up in the morning and smile just because
