Joy is a reflection of our inner state of being from "summary" of The Little Book of Joy by Dalai Lama,Desmond Tutu

Joy is not something that can be forced or manufactured. It is a natural expression of our internal state of being. When we cultivate a sense of inner peace, contentment, and gratitude, joy naturally arises within us. It is a reflection of the peace and happiness that we carry within ourselves. Our external circumstances may change, but our inner state of being remains constant. When we are able to maintain a sense of inner peace and contentment, we are better able to weather the storms of life with grace and resilience. Joy is not dependent on external factors such as wealth, success, or material possessions. It is a state of being that comes from within. When we focus on cultivating qualities such as compassion, kindness, and gratitude, we create the conditions for joy to flourish in our lives. These qualities are like seeds that we plant in the garden of our hearts, and joy is the beautiful flower that blooms as a result. Joy is not something that we have to seek outside of ourselves; it is already present within us, waiting to be discovered and nurtured. By nurturing our inner state of being with practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and acts of kindness, we can tap into the wellspring of joy that lies within us. When we are able to connect with this inner source of joy, we are better able to share it with others and spread happiness in the world. Joy is a precious gift that we can cultivate and share with those around us, creating a ripple effect of positivity and happiness.
