Possess A Real Treasure Chest

possess a treasure chest butch gibbons Possess A Real Treasure Chest

Most of us concern ourselves with piling up money and things.

Joyful Springers possess a real treasure chest.  They fill their lives with priceless inner qualities and precious happy experiences.

Instead of checking your bank balance to see how you’re doing, take a look inside yourself.  Are you happy with the person you are?  Do you fill your days with loving, joyful moments?  The stuff money buys isn’t worth nearly as much as the treasures you can keep with you always when you focus your attention on being and doing what lights up you and the world around you.

Guard Your Treasures

English springer spaniel guard your treasures Guard Your Treasures

Have you ever noticed that we tend to be a little cavalier about what means the most to us?  People and places and things we love often get short shrift while we run around trying to accomplish this or that.

Joyful Springers guard their treasures.  They know how valuable their loved ones and things are, and they treat all they have as if it’s priceless, which it usually is.

Are you ignoring someone who loves you while you “network” to build a business so you can have abundance?  Are you shopping for new stuff while what you already have collects dust?  Put your attention and your gratitude on what you have now, and you’ll probably discover riches and abundance right under your nose.

Concentrate On The Cornucopia

English springer spaniel concentrate on the cornucopia Concentrate On The CornucopiaOne of the meanings of cornucopia is, “An overflowing store; an abundance.”  On days like Thanksgiving, we create a cornucopia of food and family celebration, and we focus on blessings.  But what about the rest of the year?

Joyful Springers concentrate on the cornucopia.  All year long, they look to all the ways they have abundance in their life, all the ways abundance flows in the world.

Every day, in every moment, you have access to lack and to abundance.  It’s up to you what you focus on.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and may you be aware of your abundant blessings everyday.

Keep Your Paws On Your Purse

english springer spaniel keep your paws on your purse Keep Your Paws On Your Purse

Credit card debt, foreclosure, bankruptcy, oh my.  So many of us are leaking money these days.  How did it happen?  It happened because we took our eye off the … $s.

Joyful Springers keep their paws on their purse. They know where their money is, and they use it wisely.

You can get into a financial mess faster than you can blink.  Be sure you know where your money goes, and be conscious about how you’re spending it.  A little due diligence can keep you happily “in the pink.”

Link Up

Organic gardener, Alan Chadwick, said, “We are the living links in a life force that moves and plays around and through us, binding the deepest soils with the farthest stars.” In other words, we are connected to every living thing in our world.

Joyful Springers link up. They are consciously aware of how their energy flows with everyone and everything around them, so they treat all living things with the respect and kindness they want themselves.

Whenever you are experiencing conflict or struggle, you’re acting as if you aren’t a direct conduit to the power and wisdom of all things in our universe.  To move past any challenge, all you need to do is get quiet within and link up with the abundant energy that flows through everything.

Make Your Own Splash

english springer spaniel make your own splash Make Your Own Splash

So your competitor is kicking up his heels in triumph because of his huge sales.  Your neighbor is preening over a new car.  Your sister is showing off her new boyfriend.  It seems like all around you, people are making a splash, and you’re feeling left out.

Guess what?  You don’t need to worry about their successes.  Other people’s achievements can’t detract from your own.

Joyful Springers make their own splash.  They don’t care if others are doing bigger and better things because they know that their own thing is good enough if they just stick with it.

When you look at others’ accomplishments and envy or resent them, you take energy away from your own endeavors.  Your dream is just as important and just as viable as those of the people you see around you.  Claim your own spot in the ocean of abundance.

Make Way For Drowsy

english springer spaniel make way for drowsy Make Way For Drowsy

Benjamin Franklin said, “If you can’t pay for a thing, don’t buy it. If you can’t get paid for it, don’t sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad.”

How’s that for simple economics?

Joyful Springers make way for drowsy.  They spend only the money they have, and they put their energy into only enterprises that give them the “pay day” of joy and abundance.  And they sleep peacefully each night.

When you live from where you are instead of overreaching yourself,  you create a life of satisfaction and peace.  This peace is what gives you the energy to expand into better and better places.

Fill Your Bowl

English springer spaniel fill your bowl Fill Your Bowl

Philosopher/writer Henry T. Hamblin wrote, “The abundance of God is like a mighty ocean, so vast you cannot possibly exhaust it or cause a shortage for others.  You can go to this inexhaustible ocean with only a small cup and bring away only that small cup of bounty and blessing.  Or, if you have faith enough, you can take a bucket and bring away a bucketful.  It makes no difference to the ocean.  Nor does it matter how often you go.  Abundance is always there.”

Joyful Springers fill their bowls … over and over again.  They take their bowls to the ocean as often as necessary to enjoy the abundance they want.

You don’t have to settle for cupfuls, and you don’t have to hoard what you have.  You can dip into abundance whenever you want.

Focus On Abundance

english springer spaniel focus on abundance Focus On Abundance

Sometimes it feels like we have nothing but lack in our lives.  It feels like money and prosperity are something lucky people get.

The truth is that everyone has abundance in their lives.  It doesn’t look the same for everyone, but if you shift your perspective just a little, you’ll see that in some aspect of your life, you’re overflowing with prosperity.

Joyful Springers focus on abundance.  They know just where to look to feel the wonder and joy of overflowing prosperity.

You are surrounded by evidence of both lack and abundance.  You can chose where you put your attention.

Do you savor and appreciate every bit of abundance that comes your way?  Do you think, “Eureka!” when you find a penny?

You probably take most of the wonders you find in your path for granted.

Joyful Springers expand on eureka energy.  They delight in every treasure they find, and that leads them to even more treasure.

Don’t wait for something amazing to happen before you get excited.  Get excited about the small things, and you’ll discover you’ll soon have bigger things to exult in.
