Doggie's Letters of Motivation

7/16

With the world being filled with flaws and struggles that often cause us to feel anger, which might cause us to make rash or bad decisions. But being angry isn't a bad thing since it's just a natural response caused by our frustrations. But rather than making decisions clouded by anger, try calming yourself down any way you can that's doesn't involve in hurting others first. So you can later make well, thought-out decisions that will help you resolve your anger's source. Because making rash and bad decisions fueled by anger will only continue the cycle of anger and often end up hurting you and others more than doing any good.

Being loved feels pretty great, and if everyone felt that way then the world would be a better place. Though it’s not realistic to believe that everyone can show everyone loves due to a variety of factors and because as you can’t love a stranger since you don’t have a strong bond yet. Plus, you’d just wear yourself out if you tried to love everyone and would leave yourself vulnerable to people who can abuse your kindness. However, you don’t have to love everyone but rather just be compassionate to them. As even small acts of kindness can change someone’s world for the better, and maybe they will return the favor to someone else and so on, which would the world become a slightly better place.

As a proud neckbeard, I feel like I should spread the greatness of anime. Anime can be pretty good since it can vary in a genre *(such as horror, action, sports, etc.),* have amazing OSTs, stunning visuals, and great plots just like any other form of entertainment can. Meaning you can probably find a handful of great animes that suit your taste/preferences *(but try doing some research on an anime before watching it).* Though, you can also find anime that discourage you from watching any other animes since anime also has flaws such as really bad shows, cringy and toxic fanbases, terrible fan-service, etc. Truth is animes are just like any other shows and movies so they’re not that different. But people will either hate it or like it because everyone doesn’t share the same taste. However, regardless if anime appeals to you or if it doesn’t, it’s always the best if to just let others enjoy what they prefer to watching **if what they're watching legal**. Because everyone’s taste varies and you shouldn’t put others down for having different tastes.

Mindfulness is a very practical skill as you can become more aware of what's physically(such as your surroundings) and mentally(your thoughts and emotions) going on at the moment. As it’s more than just reacting, as mindfulness is interpreting/thinking about present matters, adapting and deciding what should be done, and acting upon the best-approximated decision. So being mindful would be very beneficial since it would help you collect your thoughts and make the best decisions/responses so you can have a happier future which you certainly deserve.

At some point, we were all babies, little people that were new to the world and were extremely dependent on more experienced people until we grew up. Yet even though people grow up, we still retain some baby-like qualities. Such as we still experience things we do not know about, usually depend on our elders/ superiors when we need help, can be vulnerable to new issues and problems, etc. All this is pretty normal IMO, as we usually can't be ready for everything and still might be dependent on others until you can learn how to handle those things on your own. So don't ever get yourself down if you can't figure out new problems on your own, get help from others, or if you aren't as skilled as others at first. After all, we all start somewhere and begin improving once you start gaining more experience.

7/11

Pokemon is a game with little monsters that turn into badasses(Though some people preferred their mons staying small which is cool too.) with a good amount of effort. And I feel like personal-growth is just like leveling-up and the evolutions of pokemon; your progress can be noticed through different signs like a change of appearance, or development of skills. Though some people might not change on the outside like others just like Pokemon that don’t evolve (e.g: dunsparce), their progress is there and just as valid as everyone else’s. Plus, some people are just late bloomers(e.g: a chunk of gen 4 pokemon) and will become their best version in due time and effort. So don’t give up on yourself, keep working on being the best version of yourself so you can show everyone else what you’re made of.

7/10

Sometimes we eventually make a big mistake that makes you see yourself from a negative perspective. Yeah, it sucks when you badly goof-up, but you shouldn't be so hard on yourself and end up never forgiving yourself for those goof-ups. No one wants to make mistakes but mistakes often help us learn important lessons which will help us in the future. So after some good ol’ self-care and inner-reflections, try taking the steps to learn how to forgive yourself because you deserve it and so you can start making progress again.

7/9

Both cakes and pies are tasty desserts which are often compared to the other to see which is better. Both treats have their similarities*(both being circular stacked pastries)* and differences*(like cakes are usually fluffier/spongier while pies are more compact and have lots of filling)*, which might make people prefer one or the other more. Though whatever your opinion is on these meals, let's just agree both are amazing desserts and we should eat them in peace. After all, both are shaped as circles, a symbol often associated with unity.

Running can be a pretty good cardio workout since it improves various parts and systems of the body such as blood flow and can strengthen your bones. So if you want to be motivated to start running just remember that it’s pretty good for your body and can one day help you run away from physical threats, as both will help you live longer. TLDR: Running can help you live longer. Running Tips: -Remember to run with running shoes so joints don't take all of the impacts and end up with grandpa knees. -Use the appropriate gear for the weather: trying to run in shorts when it's freezing sucks -Remember to perform dynamic stretches before running to prevent muscle strains -Practice proper form to help with breathing and to conserve your energy because swinging your arms wildly and stomping does more harm than good. -Though running is nice, its often better if you start with jogging so your body can steadily adapt to running.

7/7

Sometimes getting out of our comfort zone is hard since being vulnerable and uncomfortable sucks. And being honest, the only way I know to get comfortable while being out of your comfort zone is to slowly do stuff that makes you uncomfortable and slowly move up the later in order to cope with more uncomfortable situations. But remember to be patient with yourself as one day you'll being able to handle most social situations with ease.

7/6

Friendship is a wonderful concept that sentient life has developed. The fact that you can coexist and support another person is a great, yet sometimes good friendships can be hard to come by. So remember to cherish each friendship and to do your best to be best friend you can be.

7/5

Nuts are some pretty neat snacks since they have a good amount of healthy fats, protein, and fiber. Though it does take some effort to get to the good part since you need to break through the shell. So in a way life-goals and nuts are kind of similar; both take effort to get to the desired part, but all that work ends up being worth it after you get through the hardest part.

7/4

Hello everyone, today is 4th of July, an important holiday for many US citizens. For those celebrating the holiday, I hope you all have a fun day today filled with great food like burgers and hotdogs. However, please be careful when setting off your fireworks so you can enjoy them and not worry about blowing something up. As for those who aren't celebrating it, I hope you have a great day today.

7/3

Remember to drink the necessary amount of water your body needs today, as just a couple of OZs of water usually isn't enough for everyone. Try researching how much water your body needs specifically for you to be in your best condition.

7/2

Though penguins can be a little clumsy and can't fly like other birds, it doesn't discourage them from living their lives to best. As they jump across rocks, swim pretty well for their size, slide around to make up for their speed, and are incredibly social animals as they put on displays to communicate with their groups. So try to be like a penguin and don't let your shortcomings stop you from having fun, being the best you, and from spending time with others.

7/1

Love comes in various forms such as platonic, romantic, familial, etc. While every form of love has a crucial difference, every bond that spawns from any type of love should be valued as each relationship is unique and can offer something new to your life.

6/30

Good fortune is like a really good cake; while keeping it all to yourself is fine and helps you enjoy the moment more, it is also nice to share with the people you care about so everyone can have their fill and moment of happiness.

6/29

Working with other people can feel like a game of soccer; it can go smoothly as everyone is in perfect synchronization and playing their parts, or it's a mess and team takes a massive L, or one dude is carrying the whole team, things feel like they’re going back and forth with little to no progress, etc. Though, regardless of the state of your team or the situation, your team shouldn’t give up. Sure, it’s hard to get everyone to stay on their part of the field/assignment while supporting the other teammates but those can be done through practice, time, and quality communication. So don’t give up on each other and become the best team you can be to reach your goals and take that W.

6/28

Sometimes we should see the rough times of our lives as a cheap cup of noodles; sure it isn't the best thing in the world but its what you have at moment. As we can either complain and wished we had something better or we should try to enjoy it as much as we can until you can get something better next time.

6/27

Families can be a very difficult thing as some can be broken and divided whiles others can be happy and united. However, I believe that people should cherish those that they consider family. As the concept of “family” shouldn’t be limited just to blood relatives. Rather, that it should include the people that care for you and the people you care for. As the bonds between them and you prove how strongly connected both of you are. And if they are strong enough, you can support and help each other to overcome any obstacles together.

6/26

Life is pretty much an unpredictable path that you can’t control that is also filled with random encounters that either may be good and others bad. Though that shouldn’t stop you from living the life you want. As Life is kind of navigating a ship; while you do not have control over the sea, you often have full control of the ship and can navigate it through the treacherous or peaceful waters to make it the desired port. So don’t let the bad times make you give up on your life and work hard to live a life you can be content with.

6/25

Dutch cheeses are a pretty neat snacks and come in different types as well. So there's always a dutch cheese out that you can add to a meal to improve its flavor. Though there some people that dislike dutch cheeses either for their taste or smell. While it's fine to dislike something, don't try to slander and ruin it for the people who like it or want to try it out. Everyone has their own preferred tastes and we should respect each others preferences(unless that preference is illegal).

6/24

We've seen in various video games, animes, shows, etc. that the main character experiences various trials and challenges. Though sometimes some of those challenges may seem like a waste of time and may interfere with the main story. However, those "unnecessary challenges" can be learning experiences. As side stories /side quests can offer wisdom, experience, and maybe a mew skill that may not have been learned if the MC only focused on the main goal. So try to learn from many tasks and challenges so you can be better prepared for the future problems.

6/23

People are like mushrooms; some can be a part of your life and help you, others can be toxic and ruin you, and others can give you some really weird experiences. That's why its best to learn how to pick your mushrooms and friends wisely, so you can have healthy and stable life.

6/22

At some point we all experience a dull and repetitive lifestyle, eventually becoming numb towards our lives and ourselves. Though you shouldn't blame or hate yourself for this, it happens to everyone eventually because life won't always be great. However, you can always change your life for the better by adding little changes such as getting rid of bad habits and replacing them with a new hobby or daily goal. These little changes will eventually pile up and noticeably change your life. While life is always in a constant flux that is shifting between good and bad, exciting and mundane, you just have to preserve and actively work on yourself to reduce the meh and prolong the great times.

6/21

Gorillas are an awesome species; they're gentle yet powerful primates that live in small, close communities. Which makes them a decent figure to take after. So if you're aiming to be a strong yet gentle friend, try to make the gorilla the symbol that appears in your head when you think of that goal.

6/20

.If you want to meet your goals, you need to discipline yourself to effectively work to towards that goal. Meaning you have to master the basic skills, be open minded to learn from others, and have the conviction that motivates you to keep chasing that goal even during your harshest times of self doubt. So remember to work hard and believe in yourself, I know you can make it

Bob Ross as taught us that appreciation of the arts, the little things, and most importantly of yourself can help you see the true value of the masterpiece that is your life. Showing that your life isn't a mistake; its a work of art in the making.

6/18

Hating others is a common thing in society. That's why it is important to learn how to cope with hate or disrespect. You have better things to do than waste your time with unnecessary things like opinions that don't offer any help whatsoever.

6/17

Not all relationships are meant to work out. Whether it was due to incompatibility or any other reason the heartbreak will hurt. While the pain from the heartbreak will seem unbearable, you will survive and one day you will learn to love again. So steel your heart yet never lose your compassion.

6/16

It's ok to be mad when things go down hill. However, staying mad and doing nothing about it won't change things for the better. You have to plan your next move and keep moving forward, regardless of how frustrated you are.

6/15 pt. 2

Whenever you're sad, try to lift your spirits with a wingadium leviosia spell and show them what you're made off.

6/15

Just because things don't go the way you want them to means you should stop and give up. It just means that there is another path being revealed to you in order for you learn the most out of that story.

6/13

As the hard and dark times that we have face still loom over us, we mustn't forget that at some point the Day breaks the night and shows us that our shining futures are ahead of us. But for now, as the stars are still out, let us enjoy the night's serenity until the morning arrives to illuminate what our next step will be.

Good evening everyone, I hope you're starting to relax after working a hard day. You should start resting now so you can be in your best shape tomorrow. Take care everyone and have a good night.

5/25

It's good to be realistic but you shouldn't confuse being negative as being realistic. I know that it can be tough being optimistic in those dark times of your life. But if things are going bad for you already then why make things worse by giving up? Instead you should be positive and give yourself hope so you can encourage yourself to work harder and remain strong to improve your situation. Plus optimism improves both your mental and physical health
