Feel Like Complaining? Think Like A Dog

We often see examples of victimhood on social media and in the news—people who define themselves by their turmoils and trumpet them loudly. This uplifting talk reminds us that life can be about joy—no matter what we might be facing. And for a helpful example of this, we can simply look to a three-legged dog for inspiration.

Thank you Gregg. You have given my optimism and willingness to be grateful flight! I’m not sure how to teach others this valuable lesson but perhaps just seeing the good and expressing it is the example that I set. I have told my children to remember the ups in life and embrace them so they carry us through the downs.

Thank you so much for this! A strange thing I am finding since having a regular gratitude practice is that life can real deal you a tough hand but if you remain grateful for all that you have and the world around you, it really does help you navigate the storms! This year we have dealt with fertility issues and failed IVF, the loss of our gorgeous 15yo rescue dog Boris (who taught us so much about resilience, patience and joy), grieving over losing grandparents unexpectedly, work struggles, and daily life - and yet somehow we are still happy. Last week was one of the worst weeks on paper, but it brought me closer to the people who I love. Allowing my close friends and family into my inner world and opening up to them about my struggles has allowed them to feel the fuzzy warm feeling you get from helping someone, and I have felt propped up, and loved. I wouldn’t change the hardships because they are increasingly showing me I can handle life’s storms and have so much to be grateful for. This session came at a great time for me 😊

I have an incontinent two-legged rescue dog (he was found in a ditch in Kentucky with his back broken) who has a *very* grumpy attitude most of the time due to his chronic pain and recurring bladder infections…yet he still loves to flop around in the snow, bark his darn fool head off at squirrels, and crawl into my lap for a cuddle. I admire his ability to live in the moment.

Thank you so much Greg. I so needed to hear this today and to remember ALLt hat I have to be grateful for. Thank you

We can learn so much from our pets and this was a lovely reminder. Thank you
