POST-17: "When You See A Cow, 🐮 Slow-Down 🙂".
When you see a 🐮.. Cow.. slow down… 😁 #Save, #Share, & #Like This one Folks! Because I know it’s going to help you out…😁. The purpose of this, blog post is to emphasize the importance of staying in Your lane. Learning to respect, yield and appreciate others around you.. Plus, I think it’s an entertaining, real-life example of how the “COWS” in your life don’t have to be viewed as the nuisance they sometimes are.
So let’s break it down:
What cows are you dealing with in your life right now?... It may not always be and really Large cow either!... (Ie. A bull 🐂, steer, etc). Sometimes it’s a baby 🍼🐥 cow 🐮… Maybe 🤔 it’s another animal all Together. 😁. The proverbial “COW” could be a person, an idea, task, goal, obstacle, project or Event… 📉.
I hope you’re getting my point.
Now u might be asking yourself: “Arthur, 😂 that’s crazy… I don’t even eat meat 🍖.. in fact, I’m a vegetarian/vegan..90% of my day!... 😑 Same difference. Taking my advice, will not only help, steep u into a greater sense of Gratitude, but will allow u to look fwd in positive, Expectation of Better things to come. 😁
Cows eat grass, they’re a very slow, yet beautiful and interesting creature. They provide the world with many of it’s necessities, and they’re often overlooked. They come in many different shapes and sizes as well.
To all my Southerners, you know what I’m saying…
Farm animals and other, rural species usually aren’t on the radar for you if you live in the suburbs or the City. You’re not used to driving down back roads, and having a 🐄 causing a delay by crossing 🚸 the street, or a 🚜 moving slowly in the roads doing the same things. 😂. It’s an annoying, yet beautiful part about the South. ❤️… So back to the “I am better than a “COW”/ “This doesn’t relate to me”- business…
Buuuut… Didn’t you have steak 🥩 for dinner last night? 🤔… What about the cheeseburger 🍔 happy meal you fed your toddler after school on Friday?
Let’s go a step further:
My cow example, IS pretty ingenious… But like I said: The proverbial “COW” can also be the usual, BIG OBSTACLES in your way.
Things you perceive to be obstacles…that you feel are working against you, that are the exact opposite (in most cases)…When u see a large truck, 18-wheeler 🚛, or car 🚗 speeding on the road, do u yield and give them space? Or fight to get around them 👺?...
That is a cow 🐄…. Do you know where they are going? Who’s on board?... How do They feel?..no. You never know. So just respect them from afar…
What about at the gym, or on the playing field 🏑 in sports..? (this can be tricky)…
When u see a super fit, 🏃🏾♂️💪🏾buff and strong, powerLifter, training next to you..do u play the comparison game & potentially hurt yourself trying to Emulate their many Decades of training experience with your Year one?
No. Please, don’t .. that’s a COW 🐮…And, that’s reckless…Only YOU will lose that battle, in the end.
😁Just Appreciate, admire and respect them From-Your-Own-Lane!...who knows?.. Maybe they’re competing for some Amazing Championship 🏆 🙄that you have ZERO Interests in, AND…couldn’t Fathom going through the RIGOR… yourself.
🤷🏾♂️… IDK!!... Pretty awesome tho, right?..
One last one: Let's say it’s Your Kids who are getting under your skin 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️… they Too are cows 🐮
🙄…You can’t make sense of their ENDLESS needs and demands…
Then what?..Do you yield your FULL, life Existence to their every-whim?!... I sure hope not… You’re the adult.😁👍…
In Conclusion, My Hopes and 🙏Prayers are that, On-Your-personal-journey of growth?.. You understand this message, and practice this way of thinking with me. …Persevere.
We’re all in this thing Together, and don’t worry… the big man upstairs has our backs.🙏
😉 Happy Monday! #PerseveranceAndGrowth 🔥❤️🙏💪🏾
