Simple Lessons Dogs Teach Us About Life
Dogs may seem like simpleminded creatures when compared to cats, but that's just an illusion because their minds are always working out ways to get food, get pets and get their friends to play with them.
That's why they make great life coaches, because a dog's life is full of fun, good food and lots of leisure time, and who couldn't use extra servings of all three in their lives?
Dogs can teach us the basics, like you are what you eat
Or more advanced life lessons, like how to keep your cool while sitting in rush hour traffic
And if you learn the way of the dog the world will be your oyster
Dogs have a remarkable knack for going with the flow, swinging along through life without a care in the world
And when they should be freaking out they somehow manage to keep their cool
Maybe it's because they've figured out how to comfort themselves in times of stress
Or maybe it's because their buddies keep them from flipping out
We may never know the secret to canine confidence
But follow their example and you'll feel more confident, and therefore more attractive
Confidence begins where stress ends, so stop and smell the flowers every once in a while
If you're still not relaxed enough to smile have a friend lend you a hand or two
And if you can't be as stress free as a squirrel then fake it
When it comes to making big decisions try not to get in over your head
Hold yourself accountable and learn from your mistakes
Eagerly dive in to the next dilemma, so you can learn how to overcome any obstacle life throws your way
And don't be afraid to humiliate yourself to make somebody else smile
To be well received you must take a bath every once in a while (even though they suck)
Always act your age, but don't calculate your age in dog years or you may have a heart attack
Be proud of who you are and your individual sense of style
Don't worry about vicious rumors people spread about you
And you'll go from being the person who is always sniffing butts through the fence
To the well liked, and well groomed, toast of the town!
If you ever lose confidence and find yourself searching for some self-help advice don't go down to the bookstore- look to your dog and see what lessons that wise little creature can teach you for a mere biscuit or two.
But don't listen to them about eating cat poop, because that's disgusting.
