Look For Sideways Luck

Springer spaniel look for the sideways luck Look For Sideways Luck

Some things are obviously “lucky.”  Winning contests or money, getting something you really want–these things are clear evidence of good fortune.  But a lot of great things aren’t clearly great … at first.

Joyful Springers look for sideways luck.  They know that seemingly insignificant happenings can add up to become some of the luckiest things that ever happened to them.

When you keep your eyes open for “sideways luck,” you look for unusual happenings that in themselves don’t seem all that good for you but just might fit together with other events to create some true wonder in your life.  You know that all the little unexpected occurrences are integral to creating all the fortune you desire.

… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.

Scan For Possibility

Extraordinary things can come into our lives, but if we’re not looking for the extraordinary, it will pass us by.

Joyful Springers scan for possibility.  They look past “what is” in their lives, and even as they’re content with what they have, they’re open to finding something better.

If you’re caught up in your troubles and challenges, you won’t see opportunities when they come your way.  Lift your gaze from your worries and be open to spotting a miracle today.

[Muggins was a Field Springer spaniel, which meant she was bred for hunting.  I don't hunt, so she found a way to satisfy her instinct.  She hunted insects.  She spent hours on top of the backs of our sofas scanning the walls and ceiling for creeping mosquitoes or crane flies or spiders.  When she found one, she pointed at it until I went to get a broom or flyswatter.  Then she barked as I "bagged the bug."]

Exult In The Miracle

english springer spaniel exult in the miracle Exult In The Miracle

Albert Einstein said, “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

We tend to think that we can only feel good when something happens that we like.  The truth is we can choose to feel good all the time.

Joyful Springers exult in the miracle.  They find every little thing about life amazing and worthy.

When you get out of bed in the morning, you have it in your power to have a miraculous day.  Look for what’s wrong or look for what’s right.  It’s your choice.
