1. Joy doesn’t need a smile to exist.
2. Joy is of the soul. Happiness is of the moment.
3. Joy transcends. Happiness reacts.
4. Joy runs deep and overflows, while happiness hugs hello.
5. Joy is present inside everyone as an untapped reservoir of potential.
6. Joy endures hardship and trials and connects with meaning and purpose.
