Joy "source of happiness." test

This essay allows us to know the benefits of joy in the life of the person; since everyone at some point in life has experienced it to a greater or lesser degree; many people claim that a happy person is a happy person.

Introduction:

Many authors such as Phil Bosmans, Félix H. Cortez, Pablo Claverie, the Royal Spanish Academy, make mention of joy, and both agree that joy is a pleasant feeling, a virtue that can be developed by anyone who wants it and This provides great benefits for health, both physical and mental, in addition to giving the human being a more beautiful appearance both internally and externally. They also mention that happiness is not based on things, it is based on the joy of the person himself.

“A cheerful heart is a good remedy; But a broken spirit dries the bones". - Proverbs 17:22

Argumentation:

From my point of view, to be happy or not, depends on each person, on the desire to cultivate it, everything is in the attitude that we have towards life.

Phil Bosmans mentions when you can be happy with a flower, with a smile, with a child's game, then you are richer and happier than a millionaire who has everything he could dream of. Possession does not enrich, joy does. (6)

I believe that material things are not what really matter in life. We may have a lot of money, but if we have no reason to be happy, then we will not have happiness; we must give a joyful meaning to life and enjoy every event that comes our way.

In the book Hidden Treasure, he refers that a happy disposition and good humor is a factor that can greatly contribute to happiness, it is known that joy and laughter contribute to the release of endorphins, which are substances found in our body and they act on the receptors that cause analgesia. Studies show that endorphins are capable of inhibiting the nerve fibers that transmit pain. (7) Likewise, Phil Bosmans affirms that laughing frees, humor relaxes. (8)

I believe that in times of difficulties, of pain, a happy heart can help us to overcome more quickly, and make any stressful situation in our daily lives less painful. Laughter and humor distract us from problems and when we take hold of them, we can see the same problems but in a different sense, to the point of being able to laugh at our own misfortunes and still be able to maintain happiness in times of difficulty.

The mind has a tremendous power over the body that science itself cannot explain. The thoughts and emotions that we allow to take over our minds have a strong influence on health. (9)

The negative thoughts that a person has regarding their physical health could be the origin of the development of their own disease; On the contrary, if you are a happy person, your thoughts are positive, you will not only have a happier life, but also a healthier one.

Ellen G White said "every organ of the body was made to serve the mind"

(10), thus she affirms that the body and the mind are made to work together.

True joy is based on our attitude. No one is responsible for making you happy, being happy fully understands you, decide to be happy regardless of the circumstances and your face will shine. (11) Laughing is the best cosmetic for the exterior and the best medicine for the interior. (12)

Joy must be included in our beauty kit, as a cleansing cream, applicable at different times of the day, to give us a more beautiful, purer appearance, not only the external appearance, it also includes the interior; It is not a temporary beauty, it is one of very long duration that accompanies us until the last stage of life.

Conclusion:

The happiest person in the world is one who recognizes the merits of others, and is happy with them as if they were his own. Exultant and joyful happiness is born from the goodness of the heart. (13). Phil Bosmans mentions “what is a wasted day? A day when you haven't laughed ”(14).

Dear reader, I invite you not to waste any more time and dedicate yourself to doing all those things that make you happy and happy, start smiling at life and share your joy with other people.
