Have a Joyful life…
There is a debate whether joy is the same as happy… many will say “no”… Happiness usually because something happened (see the similar word.. Happy-Happened). There is a cause to make you happy. You are happy because… have salary increased, promoted, got a jack-pot, graduated etc etc…
But for Joy, we do not need a cause or something to happened first. It’s about ecstatic feeling, excited, keen pleasure, great delight or a deep emotion toward something. We do not need to be happy to enjoy something, but joy can be a caused to be happy.
Just look at the kids, they enjoy almost every single things.. rain, flowers, your office, etc, for them the world is just their very big play ground. Baby and adolescence smile more than adult, we as adult probably start forgetting how to play and take everything for granted. We can’t see the flower bloom, feel the fresh air, hear bird chirping in the morning or the taste of the food that we eat. We think more about problems and forgot enjoying the life we live.
Let’s reclaim our joy, we may be not happy with the work, or have problems in our relationship, but we can still enjoy many things… friendship, food, music, weather etc etc… it will make us smile more often, more playful, have more energy, more relax. By just doing that, some problems may just disappear. So start enjoying your day today…
But wait… how do we know that we have a joyful day…? Easy… When the day ended, we are so excited and looking forward for tomorrow..
This article inspired by Mr. Teguh Yunanto. (he won’t share his facebook account to me, don’t know why.. 
) who showed me an ad from a company. The ad is quite inspiring and make him typed the wording in his IPod.. here it is the ad:
On the back of this three letter word, we built a company.
Independent of everyone,
Accountable to no one but our customers.
We do not build cars.
We are the creators of emotion.
We are the guardians of emotion.
We the guardians of ecstasy, the thrills and chills,
the laughs and smiles and all the words that can’t be found in a dictionary.
We are the joy of Driving.
No car company can rival our history.
Replicate our passion.
See our vision.
Innovation is our backbone, but Joy is our heart.
We will not stray from our three-letter purpose. We will nurture it.
We will make Joy smarter. We will push it, test it, break it – then build it again.
More efficient, more dynamic.
We will give the world the keys to Joy, and they will take it for a ride.
And while others try to promise everything, we promise one.
The most personal, cherished and human of all emotions.
This is the story of BMW.
This the story of Joy.
So… Have a joyful life anyone…
