Be a nice Human - Be more like your dog!

Reinvent the wheel. Please. Do it. Just because something works, doesn’t mean it cannot be changed or improved. No, I am not talking about an actual wheel, lol. I am talking about the way people are.

I am just not a supporter of the “tough love” club anymore. As someone who self reflects in abundance (that is just a nicer term for overthinks), I have come to realise over the years that there is unquestionably a lot more negative which has come from my life in a “school of hard knocks” household than there has been positive.

What is even more disturbing to me is that I am a person who thinks a lot about things - most people don’t. Through plenty of falling down and getting back up in my life I have slowly managed to navigate myself to an emotional place where I now know that I deserved better and that there are far more positive ways to do and achieve things - the reality though, is that many people never get to that place of “self”.

So many spend the rest of their lives reenacting the behaviour and patterns which they were subjected and exposed to - ultimately turning into precisely the person they loathed or feared in the first place - and many others just shrink or dissolve away into almost “nothingness” where they live in states of self-loathing accompanied by zero self esteem and/or confidence.

Yes, I hit the skids from time to time to, but like I say… It is a journey of learning and discovery, which requires careful navigation most of the time. But one thing I know for certain is that I would rather feel good. I would rather seek out the good in another, encourage the good in another, appreciate the good in another and hopefully through all of that… bring outward, the good in another.

Life has enough “awful” in it - most of which us humans are responsible for. The least we can do is stop breaking others down for the simple reason that we ourselves are broken. Nothing changes if nothing changes. So I try to be that change, at least in my own way - small as it may be.

I have never been witness to a situation where belittling or berating another human being brings out the best in them, nor have I ever seen a person's face light up with a smile which radiates from the inside out because someone made them feel like an idiot just because they think or react differently to someone else's preconceived version of “correct” or “acceptable”.

1-1=0 not 2.

You cannot diminish another and expect positive growth or change. How and why is this concept so challenging for humans to process and implement.

To me, it is pretty simple really… if you want to be surrounded by nice people, then be a nice person yourself. If you want to be treated nicely, then afford others that same courtesy.

Be a nice Human.
Be more like your dog!
