Helping others become even better versions of themselves
Your dog has no opinions of itself or you.
That’s why it is always pleased to see you, always wagging its tail and is full of joy.
We as humans can also choose this, it simply means that we have to learn to observe and witness our own thoughts without evaluation. This will allow the judgemental thoughts to dissolve as we have not given them energy or acted upon them.
We can then see ourselves and others with no filters, wag our tails and be like the dog, free from the judgements of our mind.
We search throughout life for the extraordinary, for the special moment, for that amazing place, for something to thrill us…interestingly, when we are somewhere extraordinary or in a great moment, we miss it because we’re too busy snapping it and putting it on Instagram and then searching for the next extraordinary moment!
The thing is that we do not need to search, the extraordinary is here all the time. We just need to stop looking for it and we will see it. The looking is a search into the future, a resistance to what is already here, a denial of the existing moment and being wrapped up in our thoughts, in a dreamlike state.
There is wonder to see all the time but we miss it.
