Never Give Up

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010


Fast Tube by Casper

Sometimes the things we want seem way too big to achieve.  They seem so big, in fact, that we don’t believe we can get them.

And the problem is that if we don’t believe we can get something, we can’t get it.  Belief is essential to attaining dreams.

Joyful Springers never give up.  They have unwavering belief in being able to have what they want, and they keep their enthusiastic focus on their desires.

You can be, do, or have anything you want.  The universe, responding to the powerful law of attraction, has the ability to bring anything to you.  But first, you MUST believe you can get it.  Once you have that believe, never give up on it.  Keep your focus on your desire, and be ready to take just a little inspired action.  The power of your focus plus your action will create miracles.

Peek Through The Slats

Peek through the slats Murphy and Ollie Lee LInenburg Peek Through The Slats

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.

Face It Eagerly

Archie Jens jack russell face it eagerly Face It Eagerly

A line from a Mark Akenside poem reads, “Seeks painted trifles and fantastic toys, and eagerly pursues imaginary joys.”

Joyful Springers face it eagerly.  “It” is visions of wonder and magic and joy.  They look toward their future with exuberant anticipation.

Instead of keeping your focus on an unpleasant present, put your expectant attention on a delightful future.  The energy of your keen desire can turn the imaginary into reality.

[Meet Archie.  This happy, much loved Jack Russell terrier, who belonged to Jen Peters, was 11 weeks old in this photo. Archie has left our world, but he lives on in the hearts of those who loved him.   Be always in joy, Archie, and thanks for being a Guest Star on The Joyful Springer!]

Keep Your Red Rubber Ball On Your Mind

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

english springer spaniel keep your red rubber ball Keep Your Red Rubber Ball On Your Mind

Growing up in Philadelphia, Kevin Carroll discovered his life’s calling in a neighborhood playground when he found a red rubber ball.  In his book, Rules of the Red Rubber Ball, he challenges people to find their own red rubber ball–a dream to chase for a lifetime.

Joyful Springers keep their red rubber ball on their minds.  They spend each day in pursuit of their life’s calling, a calling that brings them joy.

What is your red rubber ball?  What lights you up?  When you keep your dream alive, you will find a way to live it.

[Muggins's red rubber ball, like those of most happy dogs, was play ... and loving me, her silly momma, even when I put a ball on top of her head when she was taking a nap.]

Hop To It

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

english springer spaniel hop to it Hop To It

Procrastination can be our worst enemy.  It holds our dreams at bay.

It can be hard to break through the wall of resistance procrastination creates.  But it can be done, and it only takes a little bit of effort to do it.

Joyful Springers hop to it.  They know that if they can take one happy step toward what they want, energy will rush in and help them go the rest of the way.

If you’ve been procrastinating on a project or goal, you can break through your resistance today.  Think of one little thing you can do toward your goal, and to quote comedian, Larry the Cable Guy, “Get ‘er done.”

Develop Stick-to-itiveness

english springer spaniel develop stick to itiveness Develop Stick to itiveness

Thomas Edison said, “The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”

Joyful Springers develop stick-to-itiveness at an early age.  They hang onto their dreams and goals.

If there’s something you want, clamp onto it and don’t let go.  If you remain true to your vision, you will achieve success.

Dream Of Your Favorite Things

Thursday, April 1st, 2010

English springer spaniel dream of your favorite things Dream Of Your Favorite Things

The last thought you take to sleep with you has a vibrational energy that you awaken with in the morning.  If you’re chewing on negative things when you go to sleep, your subconscious will recreate them all night long, and you’ll start your day with them.

Joyful Springers know to go to sleep intending to dream of their favorite things.

Before your go to sleep at night, imagine something that makes you happy.  Take that energy to sleep with you, and you’ll have it available when you wake up in the morning.

English springer spaniel run away from sticks in the mud Run Away From Sticks In The Mud

They’re all around us, lurking, waiting to share their gloom and doom. What are they?

The sticks in the mud.

You know these folks–the ones that say what you want to do can’t be done, the ones who say it won’t work out.

Joyful Springers run away from sticks in the mud. They know they can get what they want, and they know it will work out.

Don’t let others steal your dreams.

Be A Top Dog

Muggins on back of sofa Be A Top Dog

One of the reasons many of us don’t achieve our goals is because the ones we set are mediocre.  We settle for less than we really want.

It’s tough to come up with the enthusiasm you need to go all out if what you’re going for isn’t what you truly want.

Joyful Springers aim for the top.  Because don’t compromise their dreams, they have the energy they need to go after their hearts’ desires.

… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.

[This photo of Muggins was taken in 1994.  One of her favorite perches was the top of the back of the sofa.  She loved being a "top dog."]

Ducky with frisbee Believe In The Possibility Of Flying Saucers ... And More

Do we really KNOW what can and can’t be true?  Of course not.  The universe is full of possibility.

Little green men could fly over in flying saucers … or your dreams could come true.

Joyful Springers BELIEVE in what they can’t see.

Open your mind to what you’ve never encountered before.
