Joy and Happiness are not the same thing

Joy and happiness are two different things but both valuable. Joy is when you are feeling pleasure from something such as having achieved an accomplishment or spending time with someone you care about or seeing something of beauty. That is valuable, especially when it can be used to other purposeful ends such as building perseverance, deepening a relationship, or being in nature. Happiness is consistently being in purpose and it is a minute by minute, day by day process where fulfillment and meaning are the motive and outcome.
