Get In Front Of The Shadow
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, “Where there is much light, the shadow is deep.”
Life’s joy comes with shadows. It must because it’s the contrast of the happy events and the troublesome part of life that allows us to identify joy.
Joyful Springers get in front of the shadow. They understand that they will experience things they don’t like, but they don’t linger in those experiences.
You can get ahead of negative experiences by returning your attention to what makes you feel good as soon as possible after darkness enters your life. Face the shadow when it appears but then turn from it and move into the light.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.
