Climb Into The Fountain

english springer spaniel climb into the fountain Climb Into The Fountain

Actress Sophia Loren said, “There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.”

Joyful Springers climb into the fountain.  They don’t care about how old they are in years.  They care only about keeping active in mind, body, and soul.

When you put your talent to use day after day, when you find outlets for your creativity, when you find ways to improve your mind each day, you don’t grow older.  You remain instead in the everlasting youthful energy of eager discovery.  Don’t focus on the years that have gone by or on the wrinkles that have shown up on your skin.  Instead, focus on the ways you can use your energy to create joy today.  Joy is the magic ingredient in the fountain of youth.

Think Warm, Fuzzy Thoughts

english springer spaniel think warm fuzzy thoughts Think Warm, Fuzzy Thoughts

Our minds can be our strongest asset.  They can also be our greatest enemy. Our minds become our enemy when we use them to generate thoughts that create fear.

Some fear–like that created by a true life or death situation–is appropriate and useful.  Most fear, though, isn’t helpful at all.  It’s False Evidence Appearing Real.  We look at events in our lives and spin imaginary scenarios from those events, guessing at what awful things could happen.  These imaginary scenarios aren’t real, but we make them seem real with our thoughts.

Joyful Springers think warm, fuzzy thoughts.  They don’t waste their mind power on thoughts that make them fearful.  They choose thoughts that make them feel secure, strong, and happy.

Your mind is yours to control.  You can choose your thoughts.  Choose the ones that make you feel good, and you’ll find that life will bring you warm, fuzzy experiences to match your focus.

Never Give Up


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.

[Ducky was DETERMINED to get the huge stick (or rather, tree) that Tim threw into the river for her.  She was NOT going to give up.]
