Direct Yourself Toward the Goal.

My Australian Cattle Dog

As we step inside, I wipe my dog’s paws. Then I pour food into his bowl, and he lies in the hallway, waiting. Why so? If he waited by the bowl, there would already be a puddle of drool around him.

And what do you think my hungry dog does when I command “Lie down”? He swiftly turns his snout toward the bowl.

In other words, he does what doesn’t contradict the order but somehow gets him closer to the goal. Symbolically. Like intent.

A dog teaches how to act when there’s no opportunity to act.

You gotta stretch “north” like a compass needle, with your whole being. Yeah, there’s no progress yet. But attention is focused, and the body’s ready to jump. You just need to hear the long-awaited: “Go ahead!”.

Of course, a good opportunity won’t slip by. Your focused mind will hunt it. Among all those vying for this goal, you’ll be the first.

And it’s fair. Destiny grasped the hierarchy of your values.

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
