Daily illustrated wisdom: there is alaways a way to make things happen.

in philosophy •  8 years ago 

Have you ever seen a dog watching volleyball while holding on to the fence? Neither did I before I met this little fellow.

Obviously, he loved to watch beach volleyball with his owner, but he was too small to see anything while standing the ground. What would a lot of us do? Just accept the fact, whine about it, and never see a game of volleyball again.

What did the dog do? He asked some help from his owner, learned to stay holding on to the fence, and was freaking enjoying the game.

Oh yeah, this dog was barking and supporting his team very intensively. I tell you - he knew exactly what the hell is going on and I must come to a conclusion that dogs can understand volleyball... or they just want to tear that ball apart. But who cares.

I wanted to remind you all, that if the dog found a way to achieve his goal, so can anyone else.

I will not tell you to think outside of the box because thinking outside of the box is already fitting in another box.

I am just suggesting to lose all the emotions, stop whining about things which cannot be done and simply do it. There is always a way. I know that finding excuses is way easier than acting.

However, look at the picture again and when you have any doubts if it is worth to work hard for your success, remember how happy is the dog and his owner; remember that those guys found an unlikely way to get what they want.

So let's all stop being sad about not being able to watch volleyball and just step a little higher to do it.

Quick tip: whining about being unfortunate is not the best idea. Better make yourself fortunate.

Wise words and a clever little dog :)

Thanks @karenb54! I have never seen anything like that before :) It made my day for sure.

It would have made mine to, hope he got down safely :)

Oh yes, he has his caring owner to help :)

Just magic! Great pic, great post - we are all guilty of feeling a bit sorry for ourselves from time to time (sometimes justifiably) but as you say, get your self a better vantage point. Better still, get in the game! Though your little friend might think that idea a little daft (justifiably!)

Thanks @ebryans Yeah, it is nothing bad to be sorry for yourself sometimes, but it should not become a habit.
How are you doing, by the way? :)

Am going Ok, just at the moment and am enjoying my steemit experiences. Not sure whether you saw my post today which interplayed between two other posts. The idea was to see if a discussion would break out.
There is a new content 'guild' starting up ... you might want to check it out. It involves being a creator of quality content and then getting curators to catch our collective.
Link for you

I have replied with my insights :)
I would need to think about the guild thing, but I don't really like the idea to be entitled to trading votes. I love to upvote whatever I feel upvoting. Also, I am not into registering to steemvoter. :) I will think, tho.

I would not want to give anything or anyone all my voting power - but I would give it some and then I still have say 15 or 20/day. I try to stick to the social media side rather than the gaming. I am just included - I can always butt out! I thought it might appeal

hahahaaha cool :D

Thanks slobo, it was definitely a cool dog!

Excellent post, very good your point of view, thank you @writingamigo for the teaching congratulations

You are welcome @jlufer! I am glad you enjoyed it!
