Give a dog a good name, it’s something I heard back as a kid. Makes even more sense now when I understand The Law of Attraction (LOA) as I do.
If you call a dog Killer, who’s it gonna kill? Can you really be sure? If you call a dog Poopie, who’s gonna clean the poop? Not to mention the embarrassment of running around the neighborhood yelling, “come Poopie!”
I have heard, perhaps on NPR radio, that many of us are now giving dogs names of people much like the friends and family they can be. That’s nice, isn’t it? Seem anything like LOA…?
In My case, my last dog’s name is Honey. How sweet is she? Sweet as Honey.
I had a dog named Bart after Bart Simpson the cartoon character who was a lovable destructive brat. What was Bart like? A lovable destructive brat. Surprised?
Savvy marketers often use the idea of giving a dog a good name to deliberately mislead.
Still, if we thought about it properly, we could see through these ruses. After all, nothing happens we do not bring into our lives (or so I personally believe through the action of spirit via LOA).
Words have power.
So, what then does it say about us if we give our money to a guy named Madoff?
Hello? It’s pronounced “Made-Off” Bernard Made-Off, or Bernie Made-Off, or Burn-E Made-Off… At least you can’t say the guy isn’t honest… or can you?
Did you get BURNED when he Made Off with your money? Were you greedy? Did you think… what’s in a name when he makes me a steady 13.5% every single year? LOA my friend.
Okay… so you are buying that one, or not… let’s see how you do with this one… Ever hear the story of the chicken and the fox?
Since we are children, we are told the story of the clever fox, and how the chicken gets eaten after listening to and believing the amazing stories the fox tells so captivatingly well. We all know these stories of the chicken and the fox. Around the world we know them.
And alongs comes a TV network best known for its stories, which it calls news.
Can you guess which TV network we are talking about?
If you guessed Fox TV network take a cookie.
So, what is news from a network named Fox?
You get to decide. We each do. That is the nature of choice and the human condition.
What do you think the fox thinks about the value of your trusting chicken hide?
If you guessed delicious to the clever story teller, maybe you get to live another day.
If you decided the fox is so smart, the fox knows best, you may be right. Smart folks know things. We might be able to learn from them.
We are always right and always have consequences for our choices.
Our choices are right for us for what we need in our lives. We each choose for our self.
What do you choose? And, what do I suggest?
What I suggest is, if you must name something, give it a good name, one with integrity.
If something has a name that suggests one should be careful around it, remember LOA, and take care with it as words have power.
In any event, choose as you will. It is your choice and yours alone.
What will you choose?
Thoughtfully yours,
