Life Lessons To Learned From Dog

September 4, 2007 at 11:41 pm · Filed under Dog Lesson, Dog Tips

Are you happy with your life? Do you encounter situation whereby you are too stress out, feeling grumpy and just wanted to explode? Sometimes life can be cruel and unfair and I believed that everyone has their own dwell from time to time……

God has created many things in this world, perhaps sometimes we need to learn from someone which we never thought of before.

Man’s best friend may lead a simple life of food, sleep, shelter, and the occasional frolic, but if you’ve ever noticed, your dog is almost always happy. Try give him a little attention and he will be as happy as never before. No matter it’s a big meal or small treat, they will feel so great and enthusiast. Anything and everything you do (of course, with the exception of scolding and hitting) brings great joy to your dog.

It also seems a bit unfair. Here you are, worrying about life and it’s many problems while your dog is sitting right by your side, enjoying life to its fullest.

People try to teach their dogs to sit, lie down, play dead, speak, and stay, but it may be wise to turn the tables (because dogs don’t know how). Learn a thing or two from your dog. The lessons your dog can teach you may bring you peace of mind and newfound joy to your life.

The Lessons

“Dog Awareness”

June 21, 2007 at 11:31 pm · Filed under Dog Lesson

I’ve learn something new and interesting this morning and would like to share with you all. I’ve been down for quite a long period of time and under an “unrecoverable” depression. I started to try to heal myself by reading more self-motivation books recently. I came across this new things which I haven’t realized before. It’s called “Dog Awareness” and it’s written by Andrew Matthews in his book titled “Follow Your Heart”.

Many times in real life, we are too busy and too stressful to live in the present. We spent time regretting the past, or worrying about the future. Most of us find it really hard to live in the present because we let our mind controlling our emotion and our behavior. Maybe we didn’t realized that but your mind will control you if you don’t take the lead to control it back. So we need to learn to practice mindfulness in order to live a fuller and happier life.

Here is what Dog Awareness about. Take your dog for a walk, you will realize something. Dogs don’t give chance to let anything to pass by, what i mean was it feel so excited and treat everything as new to it. It will stop and smell on every bush, every flower and weed and every fire hydrant. You will notice that the same thing happened if you take the same pooch on the same walk as many as you like. This is because, dogs live in the present.

We human being, maybe we were born too intelligent and like to do things multi task. It safe up time, yes, and you feel more efficient cause you can finish a task faster. It’s unavoidable in certain working environment of course. But when we have a choice, take things slowly and do one thing at a time. You will feel much more relax and you will be surprise the results might be better. When you feel really stressed up and worried, try appreciate everything that you have first. Try eating a meal and tasting every mouthful. Talk to a friend and hear every word, listen to a song and hear every note, eventually you will feel life is much more than rushing for a train, running for the next appointment and get so frustrated when stuck in the jam.

Slow down your steps, stop by and smell the flowers and see how and why other people rushing while you are practicing your “Dog Awareness” :), at one corner, drinking your favorite coffee. On your favorite music or tune into your favorite channel the next time if you are stuck in the jam.

Last but not least, always remind yourself: “I have plenty of time.” Repeat it over and over until it stuck into your head. Hopefully we can practice it together and feel happier in our life!
