QOTD = Question of the Day
Have you been trading joy for pleasure?
Pleasure
- External & Temporary: Comes from outside sources (food, sex, shopping, entertainment, etc.).
- Quick hit: It’s often short-lived and tied to stimulation.
- Dependent: You need something or someone else to experience it.
- Surface-level: Feels good in the moment, but it doesn’t always last or create deeper fulfillment.
✨ Example: Eating your favorite dessert, buying a new outfit, or getting a compliment.
Joy
- Internal & Lasting: Rooted in inner alignment, gratitude, and purpose.
- Deeper experience: Doesn’t rely on circumstances being perfect.
- Self-generated: You can feel joy even in simple or difficult times.
- Soul-level: Brings peace, fulfillment, and a sense of wholeness.
✨ Example: Watching your child laugh, feeling aligned with your purpose, or appreciating a quiet morning.
🔑 In short:
- Pleasure is momentary happiness created by external triggers.
- Joy is sustainable fulfillment that flows from within.
