Look beyond the Action

Have you ever helped out another puppy, and then told everyone what you did? Do you know someone who has offered to lend you a helping hand and then continues to remind you of their assistance? Someone who takes on something and then complains the whole while they work on it? I heard the story yesterday about the wealthy man who donated alot of money to his place of worship during the collection - at the same time a very poor woman offered only two pieces of copper that didn't even equal a penny...why wasn't it the rich woman and the poor man, I'm not sure and that's a separate issue - different blog day for puppy. What the woman gave, all that she had, was more important than what the man gave. Not because of the worth of the donation, but because of the intention behind it. Point is that we have to look beyond the action into the heart of what drives those actions.

Do we take on more for recognition or do we do so because our heart is into it and we have a genuine passion to give more? What drives our service? Our actions? Do we share our cookie so that some day we can expect a cookie back? Or do we share because it's part of our nature, to give... Try to think before you merely produce an action, or act without thinking - if you're doing favors, helping out another doggie, do so with a humble heart and without looking for some sort of recognition. Give more from your heart to receive more internally...

Let the heart of your puppy drive your actions...
