The Thinking Habit That Changed My Life

I rememberone evening three years ago, when my life was very different.

1 was overweight. I was deeply in debt. I was a smoker. I felt hopeless

and helpless.I couldn ’t change anything.

Then I looked up at the sky and thought what a miracle life is. And

I resolved to list the good things in my life. I had a wonderful wife.

1 had five amazing children. I could sec and appreciate the beauty of the

world around me. The list went on, but you get the idea. Even when things

seemed terrible for me, actually I was OK.

That night I resolved to be grateful for what I had, and for the people

in my life. I started the habit of gratitude. Now many people consider

it unimportant. I'm here to tell you that it's very important. It changes

lives.

Now I appreciate my wife Eva more. I feel good about having her in

my life. And we have deepened our relationship. I also appreciate my kids

more. Instead of criticizing them, I tend to notice their loveliness,

curiosity and humor.

to others around me, at work and everywhere else, because instead of seeing the faults in everyone, I see the good, and am grateful for them. I need less ， because instead of thinking about what I don't have, I am grateful for what I do have. Each and every moment becomes cause for gratitude, and life becomes easier.

in people and things. Wecan't change that at once, but you can do something. For example, you can start with a small action. Really feel the happiness that something o someone is in your life, or take a moment to make a list of the things in your life that you're thankful for.

Dog Training

Dog training is a must for all dogs. It is more than just telling your

dog to stop doing what he ’ s doing; it is the process of teaching a dog

to exhibit certain desired behaviors in specific circumstances. Proper

dog training is not a “quick 一 it is an ongoing process.

Dog training also involves teaching the owner. Going through dog

training is something that every dog owner should do. It is like going

to school over again. It is all about communication, and you need to

learn to communicate with your dog.

Training your dog to ” sit ” is probably the first thing you will

train your dog to do. When you want your dog to sit, hold a treat above

his head and say “ sit ”. As the dog sits, say “sit ” again and then

immediately give him the treat. Your dog should drop into a “sit ”position

in order to reach the food.

Teaching your dog to fetch promotes bonding. To do this, first throw

a ball, and give the command “fetch ” . As he starts to run towards it,

yell “fetch ” again. Instead of a ball, you may use the object your dog

loves most. Do not play fetch with heavy items or sticks, however, as this

can damage the dog ’s teeth or injure the dog.

A well-trained dog should remain where his owner commands,so “stay

is an important commandin dog training as well. Since it is more involved,

that will be the subject of another article.

Dog training is a very physical activity, so be prepared to be tired.

And dog training is never without risk of injury, especially with more

aggressive dogs. One major mistake many dog owners make is to think that


”

the dog training is over. Training your dog continues throughout your dog's life.
