In my opinion and experience, being a joyful person is a decision. You have to make a conscious effort to remember what you have, be appreciative and grateful for everything in your life, and try to always look on the bright side of every situation you encounter. Joyful people are a pleasure to be around and their smile is usually contagious. Rather than waiting for exciting things to happen, we should wake up each morning with a joyful heart and an optimistic mind. Negative energy is extremely powerful and spreads quickly - it sometimes only takes a seed of doubt to crush hopes or dreams. Like it says in Proverbs 15:13, “A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.” So we must try our best to stay positive, smile as often as possible, and do beautiful things with our beautiful lives.
