THE ART OF CHOOSING A JOYFUL LIFE

Here's the link to an interesting excerpt, actually the first chapter, of the book, 'Lightposts for Living: The Art of Choosing a Joyful Life', by artist/painter Thomas Kinkade.

To me, it's beautifully conceived & self-contained on its own, as the author shares ten viable possibilities of enhancing your joy quotient. [The book actually covers a dozen of more elaborate core principles of joyful living.]

In a nut shell, here's the gist:

1) Choose Your Attitude;

2) Give Yourself a Perk;

3) Look for Surprises;

4) Keep a Glow Book;

5) Be a Blessing;

6) Pursue Your Passion or Put Passion in Your Pursuit;

7) Say NO to Nibblers;

8) Cultivate Mindful Routine(s);

9) Look for the Big Picture;

10) Appreciate the Life of Things;
