I have worked professionally as an animal communicator for
18 years now. It’s hard to believe and who would have thought that I’d do
anything for this long? It shows that when you discover your purpose and find
something you love doing, the time just flies.
Over the years I have learned many varied and valuable
lessons from animals, but I think the most important one is about love. Animals
love us unconditionally. They don’t care if we finished high school, or live in
a fancy house. They don’t care what color we are, what religion we follow, or
what we look like. None of these things matter to them.
Oh sure, they have preferences, like eating “the good food”
or going for walks EVERY day, but in the end it’s all about the love. They love
us no matter what and their greatest joy is expressing that love.
Our animal friends want the best for us. It’s not uncommon
in a consultation for an animal to tell their person that they need to relax
and have more fun. They tune into our stress and do what they can to alleviate
it. Some animals even take on our physical and emotional illnesses – they love
us that much.
Does that mean that they always do everything we want? No,
of course not. They have their own issues too, but at the end of the day, no
matter what we do or don’t do, they still love us. I find this incredible and
inspiring. If we were more like our animals, the world would be such a
different place. They are quick to forgive and forget our wrongs and even
quicker to bring us joy.
Another piece of this lesson is that animals always love
themselves. I have never spoken to a critter that told me he was stupid, fat or
ugly. They always feel their inherent worth and are happy to be who they are.
They don’t judge themselves or beat themselves up for not winning that agility
trial – they do the best they can and accept it.
Our animals teach us many things, but the greatest lesson of
all is to love ourselves no matter what. That's what they do, and what they want for us. Be love..........
