One of the greatest inventions of all time is Dogs!  Think about it.  You can run into any dog on the planet, a total stranger to you, and they act as though they are your best friend and haven’t seen you for 2 years.  Total surprise, total joy, dancing around completely beside themselves.  They jump, they lick, they dance, they hug you and can barely contain themselves.  You know how this feels, you can hardly contain yourself as well.  You reach out, pet, hug, love, kiss, and dance.  Wow, what a display of affection and love.  I love being out on a walk and encountering a dog.  I call it getting my “dog fix.”  It just lifts me up, and it feels as though the energy in that moment can lift the whole world.

They are the perfect Law of Attraction creatures, emanating nothing but positive energy and enthusiasm and love, and thus in turn, attracting it back.  They are the perfect example of allowing their inner being to flow out into the physical world at all times… nothing but love and affection for all.

I love this idea.  If only we could consistently do the same… allow the true energy of our inner being to flow out into the physical world, nothing but love and affection for all.  Here’s the key:  for all.  For you, for me, for them, for we, for he, for she, for everyone, including (and here’s the key) for oneself!

Let’s try.  here’s an experiment, the next time you see someone, pretend it is your best friend in the whole world and you haven’t seen them for two years.  Jump, dance, drool, lick, love, hug, and kiss.  Let’s see what happens!  You know, if only one of us does it it’ll appear weird.  If ten of us do it, it’ll appear to me a “movement.”  If we all do it, it’ll change the world forever!  Now try doing it for yourself:  catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror as you past, and give the same reaction.  That will change your world forever too!
