Seen on a bumper sticker … “Wag more, bark less.”
Just a reminder that you get more done with sugar than salt. Too often we are given negative feedback ... too often we let our day be ruined ... too often the frustrations pile up, and we may show our negative side. Is that who we are? Is that really who we are called to be as people of faith?
Most often we do have a choice in our attitude ... it's something we try to ingrain in our kids, and to model whenever we can. It is wagging more and barking less that brings us joy, whether at home or at work or at play or at church or on the phone or in emails ... or in our quiet moments. Those moments especially, when we are too hard on ourselves, when we allow the inner pessimist take over.
Wag more ... it is way good for the soul. And really, it is easier than you think.
