Awareness the Dog

Awareness the Dog

Your awareness is like a little puppy. If you let it do what it wants and let it run around where it likes then when it grows up it will be uncontrollable.

But if you train it right from the start, catch and stop it overtime it strays, then when it grows up it will be like an obedient dog that does your bidding.

Your awareness is like the puppy. Allow it to run rampant and it will be the source of your misery. Use your will and concentration to direct your awareness and you hold life in the palm of your hand.
