Next, Frank would teach dog to pick up piece of carpet himself, and carry it to wherever they were going. The dog would then set piece of carpet down when they stopped, and sit on top of it, with Frank all of time praising him for being a good dog. Now Frank said, "The dog begins to feel that he truly belongs in every place that he travels to, and no matter where he goes, he receives my love and appreciation. Soon dog takes on this love and appreciation as primary core of his identity."

And I ask you now, if this strategy works so brilliantly with dogs, would same basic strategy not work just as well with human beings? Ask youself, "What is small piece of carpet you carry around with you wherever you go?" "Would your life not be very different if you changed your piece of carpet to one of self love and appreciation?"

The next time you want to motivate yourself to do something talk to yourself same way you would if someone was standing before you waiting to be inspired.

Speak loudly with passion and excitement either aloud or to yourself inside your head. The more energy you put into it easier it will be to light fire inside you that sparks you into action.
