The Dog Whisperer and Jake

Just finished watching Cesar Millan, aka "The Dog Whisperer", on TV this evening even though I don't even own a dog. I'm not even what you could consider a "dog person". Still, he mesmerizes me with his ability to analyze human energy as accurately as canines' and tops it off by calmly relaying how one simply can channel the different energies into a harmonious weave of coexistence on the same wavelength - and does in such a friendly, non-threatening way that even the most dense dog owner suddenly sees the light. His whole aura oozes respect and self-confidence!

And what's fun is that conversion occurs nearly instantly, since the skills he describes (and prescribes) seem to be latent within everyone. It's just a matter of tapping into them and KNOWING HOW TO USE THEM. I feel the same fascination watching shows like "Idol" and "So You Think You Can Dance" that sort of follow the same theme, the main difference being that the participants on these shows possess incredible talent that few share. However, it isn't enough to have the talent if you don't know how to use it, and I really admire how the judges teach their proteges to understand and, again, channel their energy so that they can use it productively whilst they pursue their dreams.

The common demoninator seems to be the following: Make a decision. Make a commitment.

Just add to that Jake' motto (from the Life is Good Company) : Do what you love, and love what you do, and maybe I can start making some progress. I could use the positive vibes in any case.
