Something for Friday smiles...
Yesterday we spoke about spontaneity, and here is the most spontaneous thing that can happen, one turns away for a second, and the dog causes a mess.
A few years ago, or a decade ago, let's say, this would make me really upset on several accounts. Upset because of the wasted money, upset because of naughty attitude, upset due to the necessity to clean up (don't worry, I won't do it today, I'll let her enjoy the mess and dirt on the balcony a bit)... so many reasons to get upset about, when one is open to getting upset.
Nowadays, I prefer taking a different approach. Whenever possible I adopt the Lion King mindset, which is called "Hakuna Matata".
My previous brand which operated in the health and fitness space, referred to the concept a lot, and I decided during the past days to bring it back.
Why would one worry or stress about something one can't change?
Smile, learn from it, and wait to see whether it happens again. If it does, well, what can you do, repeat the drill.
Going mad doesn't help, and the other "creature", whether human or animal, knows when they did something wrong and knows the words that accompany that, no losing your mind necessary.
I don't use this approach when dealing with corporations. The bad ones are going down. You'll see. Follow and be the first to see the magnificent things PaleoLaika brand will do in the future.
Back to the mindset, what does Hakuna Matata mean you ask?
"It means no worries, for the rest of your days. It's a problem free, philosophy."
Hakuna Matata & we wish you a wonderful Friday and weekend ahead!
