Looking Outside Yourself Gives you Hope

Ever notice how you get a problem and all you can do is think about it? Ever notice someone go into a depression and you are not sure what to do? Ever see someone so lonely it hurts you to watch them?

We can get so self-absorbed in our own problems that is all we see.

The only way to get your mind off yourself is to put it on someone or something else. A pet will do that in a heart beat.

A child that is rocking in a corner will now have a puppy to lick all over them and to walk around, to sleep with, hug and hold, as is true for an adult too.

When you can start looking outside yourself, you gain perspective and HOPE.
