Sometimes it can feel like what we want is very far away. Though we used to have a clear vision of our dream, now we can barely see it. When this happens, we have to find a way to get our goal back in focus.
Joyful Springers peek through the slats. By looking for things to appreciate and things that feel good, they find the path of least resistance to get their focus back on what they want.
When a dream is a long time coming, your disappointment puts you out of vibrational sync with what you want. Appreciating and doing things that make you feel good help you get in vibrational alignment with your desires again. Once you’re in alignment, you can put your happy focus back on what you want and watch it appear in your life.

A lot of people seem to live by this bumper sticker advice: “He who dies with the most toys wins.” They run out and buy as many gadgets or as much stuff as they can. And there’s nothing wrong with that if it makes them happy. But often, people accumulate new stuff before they’ve even enjoyed what they already own.
Joyful Springers play with what they have. They appreciate their current bounty instead of yearning for more.
Before you move on to the next new thing, make sure you’re getting the most out of the blessings that are in your life now.

We spend most of our days rowing and rowing our boat through waters that sometimes are calm but often are roiling with turbulence. Instead of trying so hard, we need to bring our boat to shore and leave it at waters edge while we run free.
Joyful Springers beach it. They know that the way to achieve their desires to to stop laboring at the oars and instead just frolic in the sand.
Life’s beach is a place of appreciation and happy thought. When you understand that being in that place is more important that struggling through the days, you’ll discover how easy life can be.

How much of the day do you spend worrying? Probably a good bit. Worry is rampant in our society.
Studies have shown that less than 15 percent of what we worry about ever happens. So is worry worth that 15 percent that may actually be a problem?
The Dalai Lama said, “If there is a solution to a problem, there is no need to worry. And if there is no solution, there is no need to worry.” The truth is that worry doesn’t prevent or solve problems. In fact, it makes them worse.
Joyful Springers know it’s all in hand. They understand that the universe is being orchestrated by a force far more powerful and benevolent than our worry-full minds.
When you find yourself worrying today, take a breath and let it go. Replace worry with a thought that makes you feel good. Do this consistently, and over time, you’ll discover you have much less to even consider worrying about.

Want to know the fastest way to go from sad to happy?
Look for things to appreciate.
Joyful Springers load up on gratitude. They add one thing they appreciate to another thing they appreciate to another thing they appreciate, and pretty soon, they’re loaded with feelings of gratitude.
Gratitude is a powerful energy that pulls wondrous things into your life. Look around and see how many things you can appreciate today.

Just because something is commonplace doesn’t mean it isn’t special. Author Andrew V. Mason wrote, “If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any lawn.”
Dandelions are the most unappreciated flower in the world, and yet, if you forget that they’re considered weeds, they’re actually quite lovely. They even have medicinal value.
Joyful Springers appreciate life’s dandelions. They value the extraordinary even in the ordinary.
Look at your surroundings with a fresh perspective today, and find something ordinary to appreciate.

Who cares if you lean left or right? What matters is whether you lean toward what’s right or what’s wrong.
Do you find fault? Or do you look for something to appreciate?
Joyful Springers lean to the up side.
Stop judging. Start appreciating. Life’s more fun on the up side.

Like sticks in the mud, some people are energy robbers. They have so much negativity, they can leach your spirit from you.
Joyful Springers cover themselves. They wear a blanket of appreciation and joy that protects them from those who would spoil their good mood.
Create an invisible barrier of positive energy that insulates you from negativity.

How many times have you bought some new gadget and lost interest in it within a few days? Kids do this all the time. They want a new toy but discard it as soon as they get it. Adults do it too.
We buy so many things that we don’t appreciate after we get them. If we’re going to buy something, we need to enjoy it.
Joyful Springers exult in their treasures. When they acquire something, they enjoy the heck out of it.
Appreciate what you have before you go out to get more.

“Tiptoe through the tulips.” “Stop and smell the roses.” Taking the time to sniff the beauty around us is such oft-given advice, it’s cliched.
So what? It’s still good advice.
Joyful Springers know the power of appreciating the wonder around them. They linger in the flowers.
Don’t take the beauty in your life for granted!
