Joy is the emotion that I experience when I am feeling happy. There is nothing that I have to do to enjoy being happy. Joy is an emotional feeling, not an action.
Sadness & sorrow are the negative emotional experience of being unhappy. Sorrow is the unhappiness of experiencing my misfortune. My fortune is the abundance of joy implicit within my happiness. My misfortune is the sorrow & guilt that I experience when I miss the chance to express my joy. I am sorry when I miss my chance to be happy. The cause of my misfortune & sorrow is always a fear or a limiting belief. I am guilty of the negative perspective that is causing my sadness & grief. I am grieving for what I need emotionally because my negative beliefs are disallowing any positive emotions materialising into my experience. Sadness is the depression or empty feeling of having an unmet emotional need. When I am deprived of what I need emotionally, I feel sad. When I am no longer guilty of disallowing my happiness and I am no longer sorry, my sorrow no longer exists. When I am no longer sad, due to the depression of my emotional power, my emotional needs are met and my sadness disappears.
Joy is the absence of sadness & sorrow. It is the presence of truly beneficial beliefs that allow the true value of my emotional power to effortlessly and joyfully flow through me.
