Matters of the heart. We all have emotional boundaries we set for ourselves, but all too often, we cross them. But with authority and repetition, we can train animals to think and act a certain way, but what about when it comes to ourselves? Can we train our emotions to sit and stay?
The mind is a funny thing. It's a place from which everything emanates, yet no one can access anyone else's which means that we've got to communicate. With animals we use only the most straightforward language...words like "sit", "stay", "no." But between one another, things quickly get complicated. What we say is not always what we mean and at times we have to fight through mixed messages or start all over again. But no matter how hard it is and how often we feel misunderstood, it's our responsibility to keep fighting for clarity because in the end we teach people how to treat us...which means the responsibilty to communicate lies not on the shoulder of others but on ourselves.
