How to Achieve Your Dream: Characteristics From My Dog

Patient. She sits perfectly still waiting, ready for just the right opportunity to reveal itself.

Hopeful. She has never achieved this goal before but that does not deter her relentless pursuits.   

Specific. Constantly surveying her options but not moving until she knows the right one has come.

Determined. Bounding at the precise moment that finally arrives, giving it the fullest force of "everything" she has.

Willingness. Despite uncertainty of being able to achieve the goal on her own, she offers what she can do.

Trusting. Although she cannot foresee the final outcome, she follows her unwavering heart.

Partnering. She has convinced others around her that it IS possible & they join in her efforts.

Faithful. She only considers the truth: anything is possible! There is no other way to live life.

My dog Cocoa Bean is determined to catch a squirrel & gives a valiant effort every day. Our 7 year old son/adventurer joined in her efforts with a homemade squirrel trap (I wonder if squirrels like plastic cheese and butter?).
