At one point in my life I thought that joyful people were lucky. They were born happy. They had perfect childhoods with perfect parents. And everything in life went their way. Later I realized this wasn't always the case.
Joyful people have challenges like everyone else.
Some have even had horrible childhoods and cruel parents. However, they do have certain life strategies in place that help them remain up beat and positive despite adversity. Understanding these strategies became paramount to me. I began to question joyful people in order to elicit their ways of thinking and acting. What I came up with and wrote about in my book Creating A Life Of Joy are the life approaches I found common between joyful people.
