In a world of so much noise, people complaining, others starting fights, everyone just wanting to be heard their own way at their own time, bosses giving deadlines, children crying, break ups, debt collectors calling …
WOW, where does it end, where is the switch to shut everything off? That switch comes from you, you are the only one that can shut it off. Don’t believe me? Read on.
No one has control over you except you, not your boss, not your spouse, not your bill collectors … YOU have the only control over yourself. You depend on yourself, no one else, you make the decisions and choices in your life, no one else. However, you are in this very moment where you are, because of the choices you have made …
So what does all of this have to do with that dog in the picture above? Silence. Dogs and all other animals live in silence and dependence, as you already know. They do not speak in our language that we can understand, they don’t start fights, they don’t choose to create the number of dramatic acts that human beings do all of the time.
Dogs, or any animal has only four basic needs: food, water, love and survival. But, their choices are never their own because they have no logic, only instincts. They sense when things are not right and move away from them, whereas most humans gravitate to fight and so the drama continues.
Instead of choosing to have the last word, making your point with someone about a senseless issue or just having to be right about something, STOP! No one is really ever right, the issues are petty and they only make sense to that petty person with all the drama.
Life is way too short to always choose to be involved in drama all of the time. Choose to be silent, in fact make better choices in your daily life. Remember, you can always change your situation. You were not born to be wrapped up in all the drama around you, your purpose is still present, you have only not made the right choices.
Choose to sense when things are not right, move away from them, do things that you enjoy, choose to be silent, change your surroundings. Yes you can change your own circumstances, remember you chose them in the first place. Get yourself away from those who are around you always causing the drama. Live your own life on your terms because yes, there is a better way.
Silence, beats drama any day … linda frame
