We start by exploring happiness - a fleeting feeling rooted in external circumstances such as our relationships, faith, health, business, and finances. We delve into how happiness is tied to happenstance, which happens by chance, and how despite having a good day, happiness isn't always a guarantee. But we don't stop there. We also share insights on how to navigate through our daily emotions to find true joy.As we venture deeper, we discover that joy, unlike happiness, is an internal phenomenon. It's not about what's happening around us, but understanding our 'why' - our purpose. And it's in this understanding that we uncover a joy that's consistent, regardless of what life throws at us. We emphasize that this journey to finding our purpose is not a one-day affair, but a process that requires embracing the journey. As we do, we realize that our emotions can sometimes obstruct our intelligence, and that relationships become even more powerful when we understand our 'why'. This episode is a voyage into understanding happiness and joy - a journey we will embark on together.
