Keep Rocks To Yourself
Occasionally, our path through life gets a little rocky. We encounter problems and struggles.
Even though it’s fine to ask for help when we need it, complaining to everyone who will listen about the yucky stuff in our lives doesn’t serve us. It doesn’t help us get past our problems, AND it drags down those around us.
Joyful Springers keep rocks to themselves. They may have obstacles to overcome, but they don’t dump all their problems in others’ laps.
See if you can go through today without discussing your problems with anyone. Instead, talk to people about what you WANT in your life. You may be surprised at how this positive shift away from the problem in fact reveals an unexpected solution.
… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.
[Meet Wallis. Wallis, who lives in Charleston, South Carolina with her mummy, Catherine Jones, and her two Springer sisters Sidney and Betsy, is a 13-month old happy "clown." One of Wallis' parents was a Field Springer and the other was a Bench Springer, so she has her own unique look. Always looking for fun, she's discovered a new hobby. She likes to find river rocks in her backyard and carry them around, "hidden" in her mouth. Thank you, Wallis, for being a Guest Star on The Joyful Springer.]
