Look Up To Others

English springer spaniel Look up to others Look Up To Others

We generally don’t “look up to” people unless they do something we admire.  We have rather high standards when it comes to respecting other people.  We want them to have done something “worthy.”

What if we respected everyone?  What if we found the mere value of humanity and the individuality that each person has worthy of admiration?

Joyful Springers look up to others.  They find something worthwhile in everyone they encounter.

At first glance, not everyone may seem to have qualities worth looking up to.  If you look to the essence of a person, though, you’ll realize that everyone is worthy of your respect.

… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.

[Murphy and Ollie are back.  These handsome fellows are the most recent in a long line of beloved Springers who have belonged to the Linenbergs of Indianapolis. Thanks, Murphy and Ollie, for guest starring again on The Joyful Springer.]

Stick Your Neck Out

James Bryant Conant wrote, “Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.”

Joyful Springers stick their necks out.  They know that the best accomplishments come on the heels of risk.

Go ahead and take a chance today.
