THINK ABOUT IT:-
After walking the dog on a chilly morning i started to wonder.
Every night we put the poor thing out into the cold. It has watched us day in and day out cover ourselves with blankets yet it just sits on top of the ones we provide for it looking forlorn.
You would think after thousands of years of being around humans a dog might pick up some useful habits, but NO!!
Despite the solution to its problems being right under its bum, it cant see past its old conditioning.
Now this got wondering how many solutions we were sitting on whilst suffering out in the ‘emotional’ elements believing ‘This is our lot’.
The fact is:- if we don’t have the neural circuits to process the problem, no matter how obvious the solution we wont see it.
There is an old saying “You will never get out of a problem, using the same thinking you used to get in it in the first place”
If we want to deal effectively with ‘problems in our lives we NEED to shake up our brain cells. Stretch them, Grown new connections and the only way to do that is to give them something outside the ordinary to do. CHANGE!
The reality is:- “You will never see how your life could change, if you don’t take the time to change what you see.

For humans and not dogs remember always to step outside the square and look at things from every possible angle and even some angles that may seem impossible. You might find – if you can think it up it maybe is possible now. Your thought gives it life – you may find surprises hidden there. Life can be wonderful and full of surprises. Never stop looking for other better ways. This way we find the very best of ourselves.
It is a fact though that some dogs do get under their rugs and like the human bed under the blankets. I expect this has to do with fur on the animal and the climate they live in. Another fact is what the owner(master) dictates as a “can do”thing and a “cant do” thing.
Travel safe and keep well Maureen
