Emulate When It Feels Good
Just because someone else is doing it doesn’t mean you have to do it too. Keeping up with the Joneses is a waste of time if you’re doing it to impress others. The only reason to copy someone else is if what they’re doing looks like it would feel great.
Joyful Springers emulate when it feels good. They have a radar for fun and comfort, and they copy those who’ve figured out how to HAVE fun and comfort.
Develop a sort of “happy copy” radar today. Pay attention to those who look like they’re having a blast and see if you can be like they are. Emulating can be a great way to improve your life when what you’re emulating comes from joy.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.
