have nothing to hide poppy Have Nothing To Hide

When you have something you want to keep from others, it’s usually one of two things; it’s something about yourself that you think doesn’t live up to others’ expectations OR it’s something you’re ashamed of.  No matter what your secrets are about, keeping them is often draining.

Joyful Springers have nothing to hide.  They live by two rules:  they don’t care what others think about their so-called shortcomings AND they make honorable choices so they never have need to be ashamed.

How much energy do you expend trying to keep secrets from family, friends, or coworkers?  Put that energy instead into living an honest life and letting yourself shine, in all your glorious imperfection.

Refuse To Be Tied Down

Commitment is one thing.  Feeling stuck is quite another.

When you are forcing yourself to be in a relationship or a job or anyplace else, you aren’t doing anyone a favor.

Joyful Springers refuse to be tied down.  They know the way to honor others is to be where they’re meant to be.

If you feel tied down, honor yourself and the people you’re “tied” to and choose to untie yourself.  You can do this by changing your perspective or changing the circumstances.  But change something.  No one likes a martyr.

… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer spaniel.
