Cats communicate largely through body language, and the tail is one
of the most important parts of your cat’s communication toolbox. By
understanding “tail talk,” you can understand how your cat is feeling
with just a glance.

A happy cat, for instance, walks
with her tail held high, and a super-happy cat will add a quiver at the
tail tip to demonstrate her joy. A mildly annoyed cat will twitch the
end of her tail, but if she’s lashing her tail back and forth, you’d
better step away, because the claws are about to come out. A cat
concentrating on prey will have her tail held low to the ground,
although there might be a very slight twitching at the end as she tries
to control her excitement. Source: Catster

Issue a blanket pardon. Forgive everyone who has ever hurt you in any way.
Forgiveness is a perfectly selfish act. It sets you free from the past.

~ Brian Tracey

Better than if there were thousands
of meaningless words is one meaningful word
that on hearing brings peace.

~Buddha, The Dhammapada

A sound we can not hear, yet within our hearts it’s as loud as thunder.
It’s a word we can not speak, although it is branded upon our very souls. 
~Jeffery Carter

Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget about everything
except what you’re going to do now – and do it. ~ William Durant

Dogs have their own in individual personalities. Dogs have an extremely high degree of social intelligence. They learn in a variety of different ways such as reinforcement and through observing the behaviour of other dogs, and even humans. They go through a series of cognitive development stages, just like humans. Scientists believe dogs show empathy for others. Source: OneKind

Never react emotionally to criticism.
Analyze yourself to determine whether
it is justified. If it is, correct yourself.
Otherwise, go on about your business.

~ Norman Vincent Peale

Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them — every day begin the task anew. ~Saint Francis de Sales
