The Purrfect Life Lessons

The Purrfect Life Lessons

Six life lessons I learned from my furry friend, Mango:

1. Mango is very assertive. A persistent meow always gets him what he needs. Sometimes, assertive communication is necessary to obtain what one deserves or requires.

2. Slow blinking shows interest. Mango listens attentively, using slow blinks to show he's engaged. This has made me a better listener, reminding me to connect with others on a deeper level rather than simply nodding.

3. Nap time is peaceful. While I'm an early riser, short naps when feeling overwhelmed provide moments of calm and renewed energy.

4. Mango finds joy in small things—a box, a bag, a leaf. This taught me to appreciate life's simple pleasures. Life is short; why waste time dwelling on minor issues?

5. Mango gives utmost importance to boundaries and personal space. If I invade his personal time, he will literally growl at me or smack me in the face. He demands that his personal space and boundaries be respected. Immediately found this helpful and adopted this practice in my life. Although I have the good sense of not smacking anyone in the face.😆

6. Mango is a cat, no wonder he is curious! But why can't I be even if I am a human. Humans have lost their sense of curiosity in recent times. But I feel asking questions, getting our doubts resolved always ensures we solve our problems correctly and don't waste unnecessary energy on irrelevant things.

Now, who knew so much wisdom could come from Mango, a lazy cat who is meowing right now to ensure Lesson No 1 is followed!
