    William Faulkner
    “Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it.
    Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.”

    “Habit three: Find someone to serve. This is not as hard as it seems. Simply think about how you will connect with another soul today. Some easy suggestions are: Smile at someone. Say hello to someone. Say thank you. Send a text or email. Habit four: Look for reasons to laugh. Find a joke and tell it to someone. Laugh together over shared memories. Watch a comedy. It is said that children laugh 300 times a day compared to adults who laugh only 4 times. This will quickly turn up your joy meter. Add it to your tracker and see what happens.”

    “Joy doesn’t just show up on our doorstep because we wish it so. We are the creators of our world. We can create joy, or we can create heartache. We get to choose our life experience. One of the funnest and easiest ways to create joy is to do something out of the ordinary for you.  Do we want to learn something new or restart something? Do we want to travel the world or grow a garden? The choices are endless. Staying in the same place will never produce different results. You can feel joy today. Step out of your comfort zone and try something new!”
    ― Cindy Bayles, Doodle Healing: A fun, easy, and effective strategy to design a life of purpose, self-compassion, and joy. No matter the circumstances.
