Willow begged and begged (and begged) for another dog after Buddha died.She made lists of extra chores she’d do and she did them all.She wrote a persuasive essay on why she should have another dog. She created slideshows showing us everything a dog needed and exactly how she’d train and care for a dog if
Feeling unhappy is a habit.What else could it be?It’s not your nature. It’s not a feature of your conditions or surroundings. It’s not dictated by your DNA.It’s simply where your mind goes.You unknowingly picked it up at some point, the way you unknowingly pick up an accent or a virus.It’s where your mind goes so
Imagine yourself a chef.There is an infinite number of meals you could conceivably prepare, with a staggering number of ingredients available on this planet.And you, as a human being, are part of an even more infinite (it’s possible, trust me) source of creativity and brand new thought.Words can’t begin to describe the potential.But just like
You know what I find amazing?There you are, walking around, living your life, almost never truly realizing just how wise and resilient and shiny and bright you really are.It’s so easy to identify with the part of “you” that you see all the time.It’s like when my kids see the biggest gift under the tree
