Experiencing 30 years in working with youth struggling to break through brokeness and helpless feelings of despair , I have found the words of inspiration, encouragement, support and caring the pillars of restoration . 

Josh Kear is a song writer that inspires his following to live a life of inspiration and success. 

I wish to share a view of what he has to say about inspired living.:

According to Kear:

1. There's no such thing as an overnight success. It's a matter of dedication, hard work, the right timing and meeting the right people. Keep the vision strong and continue moving towards your dream.
2. Collaboration works. There is a special energy that happens when you're bouncing ideas off of one another. Several people together can accomplish more than the combined result of the same people working individually.
3. Take the first step, even if you don't know the "right way" to do it. There is no wrong way to follow your dream. The important thing is to leave the judgment behind and just go do it, without the pressure of doing it the "right" way.
4. Be flexible and embrace change. Priorities change, and it's okay to go with the flow and make new goals.
5. Adversity happens to all of us. Fear blocks our creativity, so focus strictly on the joy of the opportunity and block out all of the negative self judgment, doubts and fears. Continue to follow the dream, regardless.
6. Start from where you are now. Take your dream seriously enough to prepare and do the hard work. Remember that the good idea you have today may be the one that gets you enough practice, so when you get a great idea, you'll know what to do with it.
7. Take the time to create. Set the space and block off time with the intention of following your dream during those hours or even minutes, if that's all the time you have.
8. Be grateful. When everything's going really, really good, be grateful for how well it's going. And, when things aren't really, really good, be grateful for the things in your life that are. Focus on what's good, rather than the things that seems to be going wrong around you. Be grateful for what you already have.
9. Follow your bliss. Find that which makes you truly happy when you're doing it, and then make that the thing that you spend the greatest percentage of your time doing.
10. Surround yourself with people who love you and whom you love. Surround yourself with those whom you are grateful for and who are grateful for you.

Have a great day be inspired, hug your special person or pet  in your life and give thanks.
