By Daniel Justine
Let's taste the 2nd Flavour,
Flavour 2 is an expression of flavour 1 as it was mentioned in the previous blog, it comes out of unconditional love, these flavours are interlinked. 
What is flavour 2?

Description About today's topic
"It will be with you when you do things from your soul"

The second flavour of life is "JOY"

If we want to feel the taste of a flavour we can't do it by just looking over it likewise, Joy should not be understood as happiness, but joy comes from our inner man. When we talk about Joy there is a chance to miss understand it with happiness, Joy is very much different from happiness. Joy doesn't mean temporary happiness but it is a permanent feeling of great pleasure. Many scholars when they explained about the joy they state that Joy comes from God

When you do some moral attribute and self-realizing the supreme satisfaction is known as Joy. 

To make it more clearly, you will be very happy when you are with your friends because we like to talk freely,  to make fun, teasing others because we have a mutual understanding. 
If you are taking any initiative with your friends to address some social issues in front of you and bringing solution gives you supreme satisfaction is known as Joy. 

Going to the theatre with your friends gives you happiness; visiting the orphanage with your friends gives you Joy

Joy is permanent, happiness is temporary, We cannot bring joy in our life as happiness. Happiness will come and go but joy will be constant. We need someone or something to be happy. Joy is a mindset 

Why Joy as a flavour of life why not Happiness?

Not all types of happiness are good, we all may come across of kind of happiness called "Mocking" it is one of the bad ways of creating happiness, at the same time Being happy or Temporary happiness is a part of our life which acts as a stress busters but Joy is essential in our life. The main difference between joy and happiness is that joy is the result of your inner peace and satisfaction while happiness is a result of an external force that makes you happy or satisfied. 

The outcome of our Flavour 1 (Unconditional Love) may not give you happiness but it gives a supreme satisfaction called Joy in our life. Many of the times you may have this question in you, "The people who are wrong are happy in their life but the faithful people are may not be so happy, why ?" Here comes your answer they may be happy but no possibility of Joy. 

Happiness comes from Happenings but Joy comes from God. -Leon Fontaine
Anybody can bring you happiness but only unconditional love can give you  Joy.

You can be a joyful person even when your situation is not favouring you. The second essential flavour we should feel in our life is the joyfulness of our life instead of temporary happiness. so let's experience the joy and spread the joy to the world. 

BE JOYFUL ALWAYS THAT IS THE WILL OF GOD. - BIBLE

Falavour 8 (Flavours of Life)

By Daniel Justine
We are almost at the end of this series, this is the second last blog of this series/Flavour 8  The Eighth Flavour of Life is "GENTLENESS" Gentleness is more similar to kindness, but there is some difference between kindness and gentleness.  To make it clearer, if someone gives you a babby to hold how you will hold kindly or gently? of course, gently know, it is quite difficult to differentiate it both but it different.  Gentleness is related to the behaviour of a particular situation, how we react.  A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Gentleness is acting in a manner that is gentle and mild even-tempered.   we often hear this word "gentleman". It is an honourable way of referring to a man. It means the man who behaves gently or mildly in any situation not forcefully or roughly.  The flavour 8 of flavours of life gentleness gives an understanding of handling situations. The ac...

Flavour 5 (Flavours of Life)

By Daniel Justine
Now we are in the 6th blog if this series Flavour 5 The Fifth Flavour Of Life Is "KINDNESS" Dear friends, we are living in a world where different kinds of people around us, we are not living a monastic life to exclude us from this world. Our culture and circumstances allow us to live in harmony with others. This flavour 5 plays a major role in bringing harmony among us. What is kindness? Kindness is the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Why is Kindness important?  We have some bonding with each and every one of us. We are sharing our thoughts, we are sharing our belongings. Kindness plays a role in the way we are communicating with others. Communication without kindness may not be proper communication. It will be just information. Hence if we want to communicate properly we have to communicate with kindness.  “ Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end .” ...

Flavour 4 (Flavours of Life )

By Daniel Justine
We almost reached the centre point of our blog series, this is the 5th blog and 4th flavour in this Flavours of life.  The Forth Flavour Of Life Is  "PATIENCE" The motto of these flavours of life series is to create awareness about essential life characters and makes us realize the importance of practising it. As I mentioned before all these life characters are interlinked. It is difficult to practice one single flavour to implement in our life. Today's flavour of 'Patience' is mostly connected with  yesterday's flavour . If we started understanding the peace in us then it is easy to practice this patience, it is also another flavour of life which we need to discuss separately.  “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” Aristotle     DEFINITION: Patience is t he capacity to accept or tolerate delay, problems, or suffering without becoming annoyed or anxious. Patience is one of the best qualities which we need to develop in our life. ...
