BE A DOG WITH A BONE
MARY JANE POPP
You may not be the biggest or the prettiest dog in the pack, but if you the secrets to success, fulfillment, and happiness, then Peggy McColl says you grab it all with gusto. Her bone is her dream, and you can have yours too with her book “Be A Dog With A Bone.” Peggy says dogs can teach us a lot about reaching our goals, so roll over the following tips and find out how to grab your own goals and dreams and roll in the bliss of success and contentment.
1) What is your bone…your goal? A dog knows a good bone when he sees one and goes for it. Chomp on your goal, chew it over, then grab hold and ignore that little voice that says you can’t.
2) Be a little dog with a big attitude. Don’t think small. Dream big! Be excited about your goal, feel entitled to achieving it, and experience the feelings you’d feel if you’d already reached it. Think little lap dogs barking at a big German Shepard,
3) Get out of the dog house. Be courageous and believe in yourself. See challenging times as a terrific opportunity to leave behind the security of what you once knew and look again at what you might create for yourself.
4) Only ingest things that are good for you. A little poison, or negativity, can strongly affect you. If looking at all the obstacles facing you is making you sad, angry, or scared, stop!
5) Learn new tricks. We’re always having to learn something new. Stop thinking “it’s too late” or “I’m too old.”
6) Bark for what you want. Don’t be shy. Speak up for yourself. If you want people to help you, approach them and ask.
7) Don’t chase your tale. Let go of behaviors that are not serving you anymore. Take a look at your habits that are holding you back, and let go of them.
8) When you think you’ve reached the end of your leash, give yourself a little more leash to work with. Think positive thoughts and stretch past your comfort zone. Stop believing that your power to change your life is limited.
9) Wag your tale! The more you feel happiness and appreciation for what you have, the easier it will be to achieve your goal. Look at all that’s working in your life already.
10) Keep your nose wet. Stay healthy. You’ll need to feel good
and have stamina if you want to reach your goals. Eat well, exercise, and get your rest…take a nap.
And because we have all been attentive, Peggy has a bonus treat for
us.
11) Lap us your success. Get excited and celebrate your successes! If you do, it will lead to more successes! A dog can be deliriously happy over a bowl of water, and he’ll lap it up eagerly!
So hang on to that bone with much relish and BE HAPPY!!!
