We should not wait for a brick to fall out of the sky and land on our head before we make a change and believe-it-or-not, bricks do fall out of the sky and land on people's heads. Life is a gift and time is precious. Here are 10 strategies that I use to experience as much Joy as humanly possible and live an inspired life. 1. Tune into the Joy channel. Even when life isn’t perfect or the way we want it to be, we can still find Joy in ordinary and everyday activities. 2. Count your blessings.

Inspiring Authors to Stay Connected J.K. Rowling’s was one of us. She didn’t have any special circumstances. She was a single mom who was broke and living on social assistance. She had a vision and an inner knowing and the courage to hang on to it. 12 Publishers rejected her book. A small house called Bloomsbury Press eventually agreed to publish it. But even then J.K.
