We humans spend so much time criticising ourselves and others. Ollie my dog thought everyone was wonderful. You could come home looking like the back end of a bus and yet he would still leap up enthusiastically to greet you wagging his tail and licking your face and your ears!
I am taking a leaf out of his book. I look at people now and aim to see the best in them. This includes myself. On days when I do this people seem to rise to meet my high expectations of them. It is weird. Even if someone seems a bit annoyed with me I try in my head to think positively about them and amazingly they seem to cheer up and the tension is eased.
I can't pretend I am successful in my aim but I am giving it my best shot. If Ollie was able to think that everyone was wonderful then so can I!
