Your Daily Focus: Dogs
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 dance, they wag their tails, they hug you and lick you and can barely contain themselves.
Think about how this feels. In return, you can hardly contain yourself as well. You reach out, pet, hug, love, kiss, and dance. Wow, what a display of affection and love. Dogs are the perfect demonstration of the Law of Attraction. They emanate nothing but positive energy and enthusiasm and love, and thus in turn, they attract 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. Let’s try to allow the true energy of our inner being to flow out into the physical world, with 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 ourselves!
Let’s try 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, wag, 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 be a “movement.” If we all do it, it’ll change the world forever!
Great message! This is the exact reason I love my boy, Red, so much. He thinks it is the best thing ever when I come home. No matter what mood I am in he brings me back to the simplicity that life is OK.
Keeping this feeling or state of mind constantly in the forefront does make a difference when interacting with people. Thanks for the reminder that it should be a major priority everyday.

I loved your daily focus today. Thanks Rick. The thing about dogs is that they aren’t self-conscious. I mean sometimes a dog comes up to you and it’s coat looks..well..a bit mangy. It’s wagging away and you’re right, it looks very pleased to see you (I really like your analogy here) and so it’s actually impossible not to stroke it a bit and pat it’s back even though it’s actually quite a mangy-looking dog. Next time I meet someone I’m not sure where I stand with them I’m going to imagine I’m that mangy-looking dog and wag my tail anyway.
I LOVE this. I’ve instituted the puppy dog greeting you’ve recommended and it’s one of the highlights of my day!
I know that whenever I go somewhere and someone isn’t jumping all over me at the door, I always miss it and realize how important it is to do that unto others and how BIG of an impact such a small and simple conscious effort can really have.
