As I laid around the house, perusing the internet this, cold, snowy Sunday, I was bombarded by news reports of senseless violence and human depravity. The human race seems destined to destroy itself in the greedy pursuit of money and power.
However, as I watched my Italian Greyhound, Rocco, interact with the world around him today, I believe that the human species could benefit from these three instinctual canine behaviors:
1. Treat everyone equally and greet them with enthusiasm.
2. Be quick to forgive.
3. Be happy where you're at and with what you've got.
So often we allow our stereotypes and negative perceptions dictate the interactions we have with others. We hold grudges and bitterness that chip away at our happiness, while selfishly coveting what we don't have.
Make a concerted effort this week to focus on respect for others, forgiveness, and contentment.
