Dogs & Men Podcast

We are always creating. We create the realities in our day, our lives. We can create space. You can create space, both inside yourself and outside yourself. To grow. To heal. To be a better man. But it is up to you. What do you want to create? How do you want to create it? Start by creating better spaces.

Are you ready for the next step? Another step in your healing and evolution? It is a small yet powerful step and your dog is going to help lead you through it. Simple. Easy. It is about noticing, that’s it. Just noticing.

Do you sense it? Can you feel something, well, different? Are you beginning to remember? Remember who you actually are? You, my friend, are a beautiful creation. Beyond all the stories and situations of your life there is something greater. You are more than the sum of all that has happened. You are amazing. You are your dog. Your dog is you. You are me. I am you. We are all one.

What does it mean to Surrender? I used to think this meant giving up, and in a way it still does. Surrender the ideas and concepts that no longer serve you. But what if Surrender also meant allowing? Allowing your beauty and greatness to shine through? What if you could Surrender to how freakishly amazing you are? No internal Mafia or Yakuza chasing you down. Just a super cool life, full of love.

Everyone steps in some shit now and then. Most of us, however, get super upset about the shit. What if you could be with your shit, not trying to get away from it? What if you could just be present? Accepting? Taking responsibility? Coming from this other place allows you to make better decisions. This allows you to tune in to you and your gifts.

What does it mean to accept? To receive something, some bit of information and understand that it is just as it is? Can you open to allowing a situation, not judging it as bad or good but just how it shows up? We all spend so much time and energy worrying about whether or not we will be accepted by someone else. What if you could turn that inward and learn to accept yourself? How much easier would life be? Have a listen, take your dog for a walk and let them lead.

Do you consider yourself responsible? What are you actually responsible for? Who are you responsible for? How is your dog teaching you about responsibility? It is way deeper than we have previously even considered. Have a listen, take your dog for a walk, create an exceptional life.

This is one of the most powerful gifts available to us. My experience with the death of my brother tore me open and made me available to live. I didn’t realize how I was showing up in the world (poorly). Grief presents us with such an amazing opportunity. Such power. Let it come, there is beauty in grief.

Are you in Balance? Do you feel off balance? Your life doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. Your version of life balance is yours alone to create. Did you realize you can do this? I didn’t either. Take your dog for a walk and enjoy this episode. Game changer.

We tend to see things and isolate them. What if we could put things together? What if you could see things that were more than they are perceived to be? Think of something that has Beauty AND Power. How does your dog represent this concept?
