Finding Joy

We all want to be happy in our life. We plan, hope and does things to make us happy. Did we ever realized that it is only and emotion just like sadness, fear, doubt etc. It is not constant. Even when we know it will not stay long, why we look for happiness? Why can´t we find joy?
What  is the difference between Joy and Happiness?
We can see a clear difference between joy and happiness but it is very difficult to see from where joy comes. Joy is a feeling which stays constant and instead of becoming aware of it we just feel it. But happiness is an emotion which you are aware and sure that it will come to an end at a point of time. Here we can see that happiness is created in our minds while joy is coming from the consciousness. If possession or presence of  materiality makes you happiness, satisfaction you get from material possession or a spiritual experience can bring joy in us.
Joy is so far superior to happiness and in our deep consciousness we are looking for this joy. As long as we stay attached to the material pleasure it is difficult to find the joy and even if you find it by material possession it will not stay longer. Strengthening our consciousness is the best way to find the joy. As we close our eyes and see what our mind is doing, we can see what we are thinking, because the consciousness can see what we think. See what we experience with our body, see what if we analyse these experience. Slowly we will be an observer of our own feelings and thoughts. That is the point we become more closer to our consciousness . Let that be the first step to find the joy in us.
