Be Encircled

Posted March 25, 2011 By Ande and has 1 comment.

Many of us go through our lives feeling alone and separate. There is, however, a better way.

Joyful Springers are encircled. They know they’re surrounded by love and joy all the time.

You are never, ever alone, even when it seems like you are. If you keep in mind that you’re encircled by divine energy all the time, you will always have the strength you need to handle whatever comes your way.

Look For Sideways Luck

Posted March 17, 2011 By Ande and has 2 comments.

Some things are obviously “lucky.” Winning contests or money, getting something you really want–these things are clear evidence of good fortune. But a lot of great things aren’t clearly great … at first.

Joyful Springers look for sideways luck. They know that seemingly insignificant happenings can add up to become some of the luckiest things that ever happened to them.

When you keep your eyes open for “sideways luck,” you look for unusual happenings that in themselves don’t seem all that good for you but just might fit together with other events to create some true wonder in your life. You know that all the little unexpected occurrences are integral to creating all the fortune you desire.

Soak Away Your Cares

Posted March 14, 2011 By Ande and has 4 comments.

We have a lot of unhealthy ways to de-stress–we use things like alcohol, food, shopping, drugs …. We need a better way to release our anxieties and troubles.

Joyful Springers soak away their cares. They know that water is one of the most rejuvenating, balancing elements in the world, and they either swim or bathe their way into relaxation.

When was the last time you took a long soak in a tub or a refreshing swim? Even a long, hot shower can work wonders. Before you turn to a self-destructive habit to cope with your daily stress, let water soothe and nurture you.

Set A Fine Example

Posted March 10, 2011 By Ande and has 4 comments.

We often think we don’t make an impact in the world unless we do something big. But that’s not true. Simply in how we go about our days, we can have a powerful positive influence on others.

Joyful Springers set a fine example. They know that just by being kind, upbeat, authentic, and responsible, they can inspire and lead.

In every moment, just by being the best you that you can be, you can give the world an awesome gift.

Welcome The Dusting

Posted March 7, 2011 By Ande and has 3 comments.

It’s great to have clear desires, to know exactly what we want. Having specific goals can be motivating. But if we are too attached to getting things a particular way, we may miss a lot of wonders.

Joyful Springers welcome the dusting. They’re happy when they get even part of their desires because they know that every little bit of what they want is a wondrous gift.

If you want something like a particular job or specific amount of money, don’t wait until you get it to be excited about what’s coming your way. Celebrate every penny. Bask in every tiny success. It’s all worthy of appreciation, and the more you appreciate, the more great things come your way.

[Mattie's back. Any snow, even just a few flakes, is good snow to this North Carlina sweetie. You can tell she's happy to greet the few snow flakes that fell in what was supposed to be a big storm but turned out to leave just a dusting.

Spread Your Variety

Posted March 3, 2011 By Ande and has 3 comments.

We all have so many aspects–so many sides, so many interests. Often, though, we hide away much of who we are because we get penned into a particular part of our personality or into a limited number of activities.

Joyful Springers spread their variety. They make the most of the life they’ve been given, and they let every part of their personality come out to play (both the “good” parts and the “bad” parts). They fill their days with all their interests, not just one or two.

If you’re feeling a little trapped or stuck in a rut, check to see if you’ve locked away some part of yourself. Maybe you’re not letting your fun side or your creative side out enough. Maybe you’re not making time to do enough things you love to do. Take an inventory of who you are and what you love and be sure you’re fully living the variety of who you truly are.

Open Up To Peace

Posted February 28, 2011 By Ande and has 2 comments.

We think that peace is something that happens outside of us. But that’s not true.

Joyful Springers open up to peace. They understand that peace is something they invite into their lives from the inside. They focus on peace, so peace fills their lives.

If you want peace, be it. Start by finding peace in your heart, and you’ll open yourself to peace in your world.

Head Right At It

Posted February 21, 2011 By Ande and has 2 comments.

We start out with big dreams, most of us. Then life somehow convinces us that big dreams are a big waste of time. Once we believe that, when we see an opportunity, we don’t have the courage to do anything about it.

Joyful Springers head right at it. They see something they want, and they immediately believe they can have it, and they take inspired action to get it.

Is there something you want to do that you’re not allowing yourself to do because you’re afraid it won’t turn out the way you want it to? Pretend for a moment that it WILL turn out the way you want. See that outcome in your mind then head right at it. If you focus on the fun of the romp toward your desires, you’ll be delighted by what you find at the end of your journey.

Dream Of A Love-Filled Life

Posted February 17, 2011 By Ande and has 1 comment.

Henry David Thoreau said, “Live the life you’ve dreamed.”

Joyful Springers dream of a love-filled life. And because they dream of love, they live love. They live it in the way they treat themselves and others.

If you want more love in your life, BE more loving to yourself and everyone around you. Have more loving thoughts. When you choose love-filled thoughts, your world will literally transform before your eyes into a more loving place.

Find The Rosy Side

Posted February 9, 2011 By Ande and has 4 comments.

Can it be said too many times? We spend WAY too much time looking at the negative stuff in our world.

Joyful Springers find the rosy side. They are able to take any situation and find the advantage in it. They can look at any scene and zero in on the beauty.

It’s not serving you when you filter your world through the “problems” and “worry” lens. A set of rose-colored glasses can totally change your world. Because when you look for good, you find it.

… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.

[Butch and Pump are back, and they've stopped to smell the roses. In my opinion, these gorgeous Springers from Whispering Pines, North Carolina out-beauty the roses. And they're not just pretty faces. Here's what Pump said to me in an e-mail a couple weeks ago: "I look so cute and did you know that I am no longer thinking about my problems but I am sharpening my dog therapy skills to support the residents at St. Joseph of the Pines and the getting ready to visit the domestic violence safe house to visit with the children?" And Butch is a therapy dog too! Four paws up for Pump and Butch and other therapy dogs like them!! Thanks, Butch and Pump, for guest starring again on The Joyful Springer.]
