Cesar Milan...yes...a dog trainer...but this guy is insightful. Apparently, by working with animals, he has learned many of life's most valuable lessons.
Did you all see what he wrote in Parade Magazine today (Sun./Jan. 11th)? He mostly refers to his work with pets, but mentions how some of his thoughts would apply to "people" as well. Some items... Live in the moment....don't look back...don't worry about the future. Nurture a balanced life...exercise, discipline and affection daily. Trust your instincts...pay attention to non verbal cues. Be direct and consistent in your communication..not matter what species, great relationships begin with clear and consistent communication. We teach people how to treat us. Learn to listen...make the time to lend an ear to those you love or for those who want to transform their lives. Don't try to fix their problems. Don't hold grudges...try to resolve the problem at hand and move forward quickly. Live with purpose...don't get bored...contribute...we have an inborn need to work/contribute. Celebrate every day...rejoice in life's simplest moments. Enjoy and celebrate gifts given to you. He says that by paying attention to some of the ways dog "operate" he has learned how to become a better, happier and more balanced human being. Last edited by Vowel Lady; 01-11-2009 at 07:20 PM. |
