The Brand New Story About The Puppy That Became His Own Hero

There was once a sweet little puppy. Be creative. You can come up with your own most loved name. A puppy, as I mentioned. With very beautiful but oh so sad eyes. From his angle the whole world looked as sad as he was. Whenever he met an other being, the other being cried with him as the sadness was so overwhelming. Beauty mixed with sadness. Only half way what could be. Not reaching full potential. A sad story so far. Indeed.

Now, why was the puppy so sad? A very good question. We all can relate to the feelings of sadness. It is part of the emotional menu. One day an ugly donkey had the boldness to ask the puppy for the reason behind the sadness. Big tears came out of the puppy's eyes. It barked and said: ' I do not know'. The donkey looked at him and felt the tears inside coming up. 'I feel your pain', the donkey said, 'let us look at it together'. 

The puppy cried even more. Felt so alone.The donkey did not give up on his friend. He was patient and kind. 'Let me look inside your heart'. The puppy was afraid and did not want to at first. He was just a little puppy, nothing more than that. The donkey waited as long as it needed to be to get an opening to the puppy's heart. With time came trust. A tiny little seed of trust. 

The door opened to his heart and the donkey climbed inside the puppy's heart. 'What a beautiful treasure you are here inside, but there is a lot of dust that needs to be cleaned out. I see lots of old beliefs and feelings that no longer serve you which need to go'. The puppy felt a new feeling, curiosity entered the scene. The donkey also found the master plan inside the puppy's heart. One day he would be so gorgeous as he always was meant to be. He already was.

No reason at all to be sad. But the donkey accepted the state of being of the puppy and knew that that would pass. Too. 'Let me show you how I handled my chaos inside', added the donkey. The puppy listened for the first time in his cute little life. He truly listened to the advice of the donkey. His ears showed the focus on the matter. The donkey told the secret. From A to Z. The puppy's eyes got bigger and bigger.

The sadness inside the puppy did not want to be there any longer, the passage of the donkey had been too loving. It knocked on the door of the puppy's heart. 'Please let me out,' it screamed. The sadness increased as if it was to burst. It was growing stronger and stronger. The puppy did not know what to do. He was used to neglect it and now he had to face the truth of the present moment. The puppy suddenly was strong enough to look sadness in the face.

It was not as scary as the puppy thought it would be. It was just a little energy wanting to get some attention. That is all. Nothing more to it. From that day onwards the puppy had learned to deal with it. Not only with that feeling, but with all feelings that existed deep within his beautiful heart. He seemed to be blessed with the most beautiful heart. A heart of gold that could let in any feelings in all shades between dark and light. He could choose what feeling he would spend more time with. It was safe. Full of unconditional love.

For the first time in his puppy's eyes there was a shining light. He smiled. His eyes smiled. From the heart. Every being saw it happening and they all smiled with him. The sadness that connected them in dark times, now got transformed and turned into a beautiful sunshine. The most adorable energy that just makes your heart sing out loud. And so it comes that the little big puppy and the ugly donkey started to dance. 'Ugly', I hear you thinking. The donkey was awesome! In every way. With his new eyes, the puppy saw the real donkey. Sweet. Dancing. Together. Now. And every single being with them.
