Benjamin Franklin said, “To the discontented man no chair is easy.”

Joyful Springers make every chair easy.  They choose contentment by focusing on what’s going right in their lives instead of relentlessly staring at what’s wrong.

Even if your life isn’t exactly what you want it to be now, you can decide to be content with what is.  If just one little thing is going right, you have a reason to feel good.  Relax into the best part of your life, and all your chairs will be easy.

… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.

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.

Put All Your Qualities In One Basket

How can you be the best person you can be? Develop as many great qualities as you can and put them in one basket–YOU.

Benjamin Franklin had a list of 13 virtues or qualities that he wished to develop.  He focused on one virtue a week for thirteen weeks, then started over again. Franklin’s devotion to becoming a better person inspired me to write Healthy, Wealthy, & Wise–52 Life-changing Lessons for the 21st Century, a book of 52 inner qualities.

Joyful Springers want to be the best they can be.  They deliberately develop powerful, positive inner qualities.
