Essence | The Joyful Springer

Be Still

“‘Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a … Joyful Springer.”

Joyful Springers are still. They know that embracing the quiet moments is what connects them to their true essence and to the essence of others.

If you’ve been rushing around to keep up with the holiday hustle and bustle, stop for a moment. Just breathe in and out. Listen to the silence. Tap into your source energy and let it connect you joyfully to the world around you.

…Another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer spaniel.

Look Up To Others

Posted June 13, 2010 By Ande and has 2 comments.

We generally don’t “look up to” people unless they do something we admire. We have rather high standards when it comes to respecting other people. We want them to have done something “worthy.”

What if we respected everyone? What if we found the mere value of humanity and the individuality that each person has worthy of admiration?

Joyful Springers look up to others. They find something worthwhile in everyone they encounter.

At first glance, not everyone may seem to have qualities worth looking up to. If you look to the essence of a person, though, you’ll realize that everyone is worthy of your respect.
