Strive to Be As Good As Your Dog
I was going through some notes and motivational quotes I've collected over the years, and stumbled across this little gem. Of course, not everyone is a dog lover like I am. But whether you love dogs or not, I think it still gets the message across.
Give each point some thought as you read through them, and consider how each relates to your own life and how you react to situations that come up.
Full disclosure... I'm still working on bullet point #1 as I sit here savoring my morning coffee. ☕😉
Enjoy...
- If you can start the day without caffeine,
- 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 overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
- 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 face the world without lies and deceit,
- If you can conquer tension without medical help,
- If you can relax without liquor,
- If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
- If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion, gender preference, or politics, THEN, you have reached the same level of development as your dog.
So, are you as good as your dog, or do you have some areas to work on? I'm a work-in-progress, probably always will be, but Bailey is my motivation to constantly strive to be better.

Thank you Mel! I'm going out "rucking" today for 4-5 miles. It's nice to be living on my own terms -- finally!
It truly is great to live life on our own terms, Dave. I don't do any rucking, but I do like to take very long walks.
Mel
I've just taken up rucking as a hobby to get in better shape. I've hiked for years (a lot), but never with a weighted ruck. I bought an "official" purpose-built ruck with weight plates, and it just arrived today. I'll be testing it out this afternoon and plan to write a review about it on my niche site soon. 😉
No sleeping for me - Remember the challenge to only micro-sleep an hour divided six ways every 24 hours lol lol 🤣🤣✌️🤘🤔
Should I add another bullet point to the list? "If you can work 23 hours in a day and only micro-sleep for 1 hour in 10 minute increments." 🤣
