“Learn to laugh at things that otherwise would make you angry.”
This morning, as I was taking Kaleb for a walk, I noticed myself get angry as Kaleb kept on pulling toward a crowd of ducks across the street (a story fellow dog owners are far too familiar with 😂)
“Kaleb, stop pulling,” I repeated one time after another.
But, he refused to listen.
Or maybe he wasn’t listening to begin with 🤔
With each pull, I would pull him back.
And the famous battle of, “Oleg vs Kaleb” officially began.
September 20th, 2021 (no casualties were reported for those who are left wondering 😂)
Back and forth we exchanged pulls until I noticed myself suddenly begin to laugh at the situation.
I started laughing because of what I was trying to do.
I was trying to control his existence.
Due to my laughter, I immediately found myself in a place I enjoy the most.
Curiosity.
I got curious about his experience.
“What is he thinking? Does he want to say, ‘Hi!’ Does he want to eat one of the ducks? 👿”
In that moment, I noticed my initial anger transform into a sense of peace.
Do you ever find yourself laughing at things that otherwise make you angry? (Share one of the moments in the comments)
