One of the biggest challenge is living in a human centered world.
Us humans aren’t the easiest species to live amongst lol.
For most of us, we live in our heads and unaware of ourselves at the deepest level.
When the mind controls how we live we get wrapped up in the judgements of our own beliefs or even the judgements by others who are also living in their minds.
Then we suffer.
Suffering becomes unbearable and now when you dog barks, your dog becomes the object of your suffering.
Blaming your dog for how you feel or what you think causes a disturbance in your relationship with your dog.
Because you’re living unaware that things outside of yourself isn’t what is the cause of your suffering.
You are see your dog as your antagonist and your enemy.
The cycle of looking outside of yourself to feel better or blaming when that reality doesn’t match our desired reality, continues.
You continue to suffer.
Instead of looking to control each moment of your life, let go and live with what is.
When you live presently, you respond to life.
Your connection with yourself deepens and your relationship with your loved ones transform.
Tap into your own inherent ability to access the present moment and invite in how your dog already sees the essence of who you are.
