Wanna Get Your AQ (Animal Quotient!) Learning On?!

I think sometimes we get too cerebral, looking deep into various areas to find the perfect, the right, the profound, the life-changing answers. We think the secrets to success, to life, to business lies in the prophetic’ s mind, the CEO of the successful companies, the ones we follow on social media and pine over their brain’s ability to just make it happen.

Well, I’m not gonna lie. I look in those places too for successful nuggets! I mean, c’mon… those folks all got there because they do know some of those secrets to success! There’s no arguing with that.

However, sometimes it just seems the lessons should be more organic. And, quite frankly, I think they are.

I’ve been an animal lover all my life. They ARE my family, and I would risk a lot of things to save an animal! They are the most helpless, voiceless creatures who, at the heart of it, are truly put here to love us. If I had a dime for every time, I heard the words “unconditional love” I’d be writing this blog from my own private island!

So, I think I figured out a secret. The lessons don’t have to be so cerebral, only if we’re open to lessons from who I believe are the best teachers in the world: animals. Even if just observing their behaviors, there are lessons. Taking some of the simplest aspects from unconditional love. Their ability to forgive and bring their resilience to new living situations and forever homes. Their ability to tolerate differences. Their God-given way of knowing how to focus on what they do best and do just that. (Can’t wait to share my thoughts on Chihuahuas and their hunting ability!)

From life, relationships, and business, the best and most powerful teachers are right under our noses. Watch them, act like them, be like them.

Anxious to share more with you in our AQ Segments. Taking a different spin on what we know about IQ and EQ, and now let’s learn about AQ and those organic, simple yet powerful lessons right under our noses!

See you next week, for more fun!
