Sit In The Threshold

Posted October 30, 2010 By Ande and has no comments yet.

Many of us spend our lives inside the four walls of belief systems we accepted years ago and haven’t questioned since. It doesn’t even occur to some to look past the boundaries of preconceived notions.

Joyful Springers sit in the threshold. They live their lives in the doorway of their beliefs, always ready to test the old ones and perhaps take on new ones.

Beliefs aren’t facts. They’re fluid, and you get to choose them. So why not choose beliefs that help you feel good about yourself and the world you’re in? Always be ready to leave the confines of your old ideas and explore new ways of thinking that open the door to a better world.

… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.

Vault Over Others

Do you know what determines what we can and can’t do? It’s not facts. It’s beliefs. Your beliefs are what allow you to achieve … or not.

You get your beliefs, usually, from those around you. So if people around you have limiting beliefs, so do you.

Joyful Springers vault over others. They choose not to accept beliefs just because everyone around them holds those beliefs.

YOU and you alone can decide what you believe. Choose empowering beliefs that make what you want possible. And don’t let the negative beliefs of those around you keep you down.
