Show A Little Restraint
Sometimes we need to go all out … but sometimes, we need to hold back a bit. Our passion and energy can turn us into out-of-control bulldozers sometimes.
Joyful Springers show a little restraint. They intuitively know when they need to reel it in and contain some of their natural exuberance.
Learn to gauge others’ reactions. If you’re too much for someone, dial it down a notch. Learning to meet people on their terms can help you get ahead in the long run.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.
[Ducky had a grand adventure when she met her first kitties, Newt and Toes, a couple weeks ago. She showed admirable restraint in her gentle interaction with them.]
