By whose standard do you judge your appearance?  Your friends’?  Your family’s? Society’s?

Even if you think you’re judging the way you look by your own standards, you learned those standards from others.  Why not decide that beauty is … YOU?

Joyful Springers know they’re beautiful, from head to toes.  They understand that beauty is a fluid ideal they can decide they meet, just because they are who they are, and that’s all they need to be.

Today, you can find fault with your weight or your hair or some other aspect of your appearance.  Or you can decide to be beautiful, exactly as you are.

… another wise tidbit from a joyful KITTY.

[Toes is back.  Toes, the happy kitty who has moved in with our friends, Neil and Nancy, doesn't care that he has extra toes.  He knows he's a beautiful kitty.  Thanks, Toes for guest starring again on The Joyful Springer.]

Watch The Stairs

It’s tempting to turn away from your own path and look toward the threat when you have competitors or critics or some other powerful person or entity breathing down your neck.  When you turn toward what you fear, though, you lose your power.

Rudyard Kipling wrote, “Never look backwards or you’ll fall down the stairs.”

Joyful Springers watch the stairs.  They know they can’t control what others are doing, but they can concentrate on  making their own steps sure.

Someone intimidating might be right on your heels, but don’t let that distract you from your purpose.
