What Dogs Can Teach Us About Being Good – The Medicine of Good
Do you gaze into your dog’s eyes and say, “Good Doggie!” Not only do those words make them feel good – but they lift your spirits also. This sweet moment creates a circle of good feelings between you. Dogs often feel good, and when we let ourselves be affected by their positive energy, it makes us feel happy too. In this way we can keep our emotional “Goodness Tank” full, making us more resilient and better prepared to face life’s challenges.
We can learn from our dogs how to feel this “Sense of Goodness” in our lives. It is not just an emotional feeling; it is actually a sensation – and it feels good. This episode teaches us everything we need to know about how to have more goodness in our life – and with the animals share our world. In the words of Gregory Maguire, “Animals are born who they are, accept it, and that is that. They live with greater peace than people do.”
