By Stacey Mayo It is natural to look to the outside of us to find more joy in our life - to expect our soulmate, our career, and our surroundings to bring us joy.  And while all those things are important,  pure joy comes from deep inside of us, when we can clear the fear our doubts and negative chatter from our minds. I saw a wonderful example of someone bringing joy to the world on a recent trip.  I was traveling back from Texas for a family matter and as always, I parked at an offside parking lot and took a shuttle to the airport.  We hopped on the shuttle after a trip that had been difficult and were greeted by an exuberant shuttle driver, who said he hoped our trip had been joyful and prosperous. I quickly noted to myself that I was glad I had somehow attracted this shuttle ride. :) The shuttle driver extended that wish to everyone who came on board and told us we would be leaving in a moment or two or three. I smiled thinking he had his "shtick" down pat. Yet it made me smile. Then, as we pulled out of the parking space on our way to where our cars where parked,  he did something else unique. He asked us if we would share something about where we had been on our travels.  Pretty soon we were connecting with each other and I learned one couple had been to Italy and had been challenged with lost luggage on the way home, another had just dropped their daughter off to go back to college and had not traveled anywhere.  The point is he got us talking to each other and he had us smiling.  This shuttle driver brought joy to every one of us on that short 5-10 minute ride by wishing us joy and prosperity and by getting us connecting with each other. And while he had a set way of doing it, there was an obvious intention to spread joy and he accomplished that mission.  We were all smiling at each other and grateful to have had that bit of joy and yes, comic relief, in our day. I also noticed that people were tipping this shuttle driver in quantities I had never seen before. Everyone tipped him, even the people who were dropping their daughter off and had no luggage for him to handle. He tried refusing that tip, but they insisted.  Why?  Because he brought a smile to their face that day.  And isn't that what we all want? By sharing joy and prosperity, it naturally came back to him and in a big way. So I challenge you to look at how you can bring joy to the people in your life today. PS.  If you find it tough to be in a joyful place, consider trying out Life Transformation Tools & More to clear out what is in the way of connecting with the essence of  joy that is in all of us.       The Importance of Stillness There has been a lot of buzz about stillness ever since Oprah showcased Eckhart Tolle's book, "A New Earth".  It is a great book by the way. I have been practicing Stillness for several years now, sometimes with more diligence that others.  It is from that place of stillness that joy can bubble forth - from the essence of our own being. In lesson 2 of Life Transformation Tools & More, I talk about the benefits of stillness and provide some easy exercises for getting in touch with that place of inner peace. (There is also a script for clearing whatever is in the way of you owning your own power.) You can try it out and get the first 2 lessons for f-r-e-e here. Stay tuned for a Stillness Experiment next month that will have as many people as possible practicing the art of stillness around the world. I can't wait to see what happens.  Keep your eyes open for the next issue of Living Your Dreams for all the details.       *** FR-E-E TELESEMINAR ON THE POWER OF EBOOKS *** David Riklan, the founder of SelfGrowth.com and e-book marketing genius, is offering an exclusive free Teleseminar  on "The Power of E-Books and E-Book Marketing".
