However, Tutu and the Dalai Lama think otherwise: they say that joy is what happens when you understand suffering. It is all in your mind.

There are many things which may stand on your way to true joy.

Fear, stress, and anxiety — almost on a daily basis. Feelings which will inevitably come with some great loss. Adversity, illness, fear of death.

A healthy perspective really is the foundation of joy and happiness, because the way we see the world is the way we experience the world. Changing the way we see the world in turn changes the way we feel and the way we act, which changes the world itself.
