Watch Over Others

english springer spaniel watch over others Watch Over Others

Ray Kroc said, “The more I help others to succeed, the more I succeed.” What a wonderful truth that is.  The more you look out for others, the happier you’ll be.

Joyful Springers watch over others.  Even as they pursue their own happiness, they keep an eye on the well being of those around them.  And in doing so, they add to their own well being too.

While you’re taking care of your own business today and finding ways to feel good, look for ways you can help others feel good too.  The more you help others achieve their desires, the faster you’ll achieve your own.

… another wise tidbit from a joyful English Springer Spaniel.

Make Your Own Splash

Friday, July 30th, 2010

english springer spaniel make your own splash Make Your Own Splash

So your competitor is kicking up his heels in triumph because of his huge sales.  Your neighbor is preening over a new car.  Your sister is showing off her new boyfriend.  It seems like all around you, people are making a splash, and you’re feeling left out.

Guess what?  You don’t need to worry about their successes.  Other people’s achievements can’t detract from your own.

Joyful Springers make their own splash.  They don’t care if others are doing bigger and better things because they know that their own thing is good enough if they just stick with it.

When you look at others’ accomplishments and envy or resent them, you take energy away from your own endeavors.  Your dream is just as important and just as viable as those of the people you see around you.  Claim your own spot in the ocean of abundance.

Develop Stick-to-itiveness

Thomas Edison said, “The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.”

Joyful Springers develop stick-to-itiveness at an early age.  They hang onto their dreams and goals.

If there’s something you want, clamp onto it and don’t let go.  If you remain true to your vision, you will achieve success.

Ignore The Nippers

Friday, May 28th, 2010

english springer spaniel ignore the nippers Ignore The Nippers

When you’re trotting toward your goals, you’re going to encounter those who want to discourage you.  These negative folks like to dog you and take bites out of your enthusiasm.

Joyful Springers ignore the nippers.  They hang onto their faith and keep going even when others predict they’ll fail.

So what if someone else things your idea is dumb or your expectation of success is naive? Stay the course.

Get On Top

english springer spaniel get on top of it Get On Top

Margaret Thatcher said, “People think that at the top there isn’t much room. They tend to think of it as an Everest. My message is that there is tons of room at the top.”

Joyful Springers get on top.  They find creative ways to capture the high perch of success.

It’s wide open at the top.  You just have to find your open space and claim it.

Steady On

Bernese Mountain dog steady on Steady On

Motivational author and speaker Jim Rohn said, “Success is steady progress toward one’s personal goals.” Notice he didn’t say success was reaching the goals.  Success is just forward movement toward your goals.

Joyful Springers stay steady on toward their goals.  They know that as long as they’re still moving toward their desires, they’re deserving of the treats due to the successful.

You may not yet have stacked your achievements as high as you’d like, but as long as you’re still reaching for those heights, call yourself a success.

Keep Your Nose To The Down

Muggind downhill Keep Your Nose To The Down

We live in an uphill society.  We’re all climbing toward our goals, reaching for our dreams.

We’re told we should be upwardly mobile.  We climb ladders to success.

But sometimes we need to go downhill.  Sometimes, life takes us to a lower rung.

Joyful Springers keep their eager attitude alive even when the journey heads downward.  They are alert to new opportunities … they keep their nose to the down.
