Joy can feel like happiness.
However, extrinsic joy (e.g. societal acclaim) is not a sustainable way to continuous happiness.
Don’t be dependent on external factors (e.g. opinions of others).
Build a framework of joy that is in your control.
Focus on intrinsic joy.
Find joy in being of use to society, in – you, yourself – contributing.
Simply – be in control of joy through the joy of contribution and reach continuous happiness.
