Are you as wise as the following?

Morning,
Tell me this isn’t great!
- If you can start the day without caffeine,
- If you can get going without pep pills,
- If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
- If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
- If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
- If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
- If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
- If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
- If you can conquer tension without medical help,
- If you can relax without liquor,
- If you can sleep without the aid of drugs…
Then….you’re probably the Family Dog!
Think about it. Internalize all the stresses that go thru your body, day in day out…all the angsts and idjut people with whom you have to deal, all the terrible pettiness in which 99.845% of the worlds’ population are masters of indulging….and then re-read the above again.
Why is it our four footed friends will always show to us how nothing but nothing gets them down?
Calmness is not only a necessary ingredient in making money online…it also shields you from making hasty desperate decisions and losing your hard-earned money by succumbing to "the dream" (you know, those things that sound too good to be true, but because you’re more fretful than a beehive that was used for soccer practice, you grasp at the thing with both hands and refuse to let go).
Calmness. Peach. Inner wisdom. Sometimes learning from our canine companions can be a very good thing indeed.
Enjoy,
Barbara Ling
ps – speaking about calmness, have you seen:

I found myself nodding at the first three things and saying, “hey, that’s me!” And then I got to number #5 about eating the same food everyday and thought to myself, “well, there are times in my life that I would think a diet of dark chocolate, fettucine alfredo and sushi wouldn’t be a bad life if that was my only diet.” Gosh, do I hang out with dogs too much?? I thought for a minute that the last one said “sleep without the use of DOGS” and then i said “oh, my two dogs sleep on my bed so I would flunk” and then i realized it was drugs.

Hee hee, I love your comment about ’sleep without the use of dogs’! I wake up every morning to see my Malamoose poke his head onto my bed (he’s a malamute/collie cross who can look down on the bed). So cute!
Thanks for stopping by, Barbara
