How does a dog see the world? And, why does it matter?

It's almost as if we're living in a parallel universe. Think about it.

A dog can see some color, is more nearsighted, may have a broader field of vision, and 10-20 times more sensitive to motion than humans.  

The way a dog sees the world is entirely different than the way we see the world - parallel universes.

So if I see the grass as green, and a dog sees the grass as a different color, is the grass still green?   To us, yes. To the dog, maybe not.  Why does this matter to you?

How often have you seen the world's challenges this way?

  • It's too hard.

  • This is not the way to handle a problem.

  • I have no way out.

  • I don't know what else to do.

  • That doesn't make sense.

  • I don't have the ability.

  • I'm too scared.

  • It will never work.

  • I'm confused.

Probably too often.

This is how the "Resistant You" wants to see the world - through limitations, common sense, and rules.  

But, what if we looked at the world's challenges like a dog?  

What if we expanded our field of view?
What if we looked at different aspects of a problem?
What if we said, "the rules are all invented, how about I invent new rules?"
What if we stepped into a posture of possibility?  

You might be wrong. But then again, you might not.  

Because you're seeing the world not as others see it.   

But, as you choose to see it.
