True simcha is achieved through gladdening others, particularly those who need the extra support.
In this shiur, delivered to the Chizuk Mission, Rav Burg explains how on the one hand we can only experience Simcha in a state of completion and on the other hand our world is fundamentally fragmented.

Rulings and insights from the Lubavitcher Rebbe - Rabbi Chaim Wolosow
The Rebbe concludes that while bread and meat are not strictly mandatory to fulfill the obligation of the Purim meal, they are the ideal way to express Simcha (joy). While forgetting Al HaNissim doesn't require repeating Bentching, we still follow the Rambam's preference for meat to celebrate the miracle with the highest honor. https://www.torahrecordings.com/shulchan_menachem/orach_chayim/349_002

B"H One simple practice that has genuinely increased my simcha: choosing my default state to be joy. Serving Hashem with simcha is avodah, real spiritual work. One small way to practice it is consciously smiling — not artificially, not performatively, just choosing a joyful presence. It changes how people respond, and it becomes a quiet kiddush Hashem in the world. Simcha is something we can practice. #Judaism #Simcha #Torah #Joy #Spirituality To watch Torah Thoughts in video format, click HERE Subscribe to the Torah Thoughts BLOG for exclusive written content!
