Veterinary Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - The Power of Changing Your Focus

One of my very favorite Facebook memes says “the difference between a flower and a weed is a judgement.” We value the rose and look down our noses at dandelions. Why?

The rose has thorns that hurt, draw blood and sometimes leave the tip of the thorn under our skin, a reminder of the pain the rose inflicted. The dandelion has no thorns and as it matures, turns into a delightful, delicate array of lighter-than-air seeds just waiting for us to make a wish on and gently blow out into the world to grant that wish.

Did you notice how I changed what is usually focused on? You can do that with people, too.

Both flowers have value, though both flowers are different, just as all people have value in spite of their differences. Next time you’re tempted to be irritated by someone, stop and shift your focus. It’ll improve your mental wellbeing and your dealings with that person.
