Belonging to Yourself

You know your parents raise you the best they can with what they know.  Sometimes you may think they are hard on you.  Sometimes you may think that "they just don't get it".  Sometimes they may push you to your limit.  All of this shows their love for you.  

       I know that on this earth there are some people who have abusive parents. Parents that are addicted to drugs and/or alcohol.  Parents that are putting you through a nasty custody battle.  I like to believe that even parents who are like that hold love for their children somewhere in their hearts.  Either way, the way your parents raise you influences your behavior to a certain extent, but YOU are your own person!

       No one has control over your actions, behaviors, and emotions but you and God.  No one should be able to tell you how to think.  Your mind, your body, your emotions; they all belong to you.  

        I watched a video about clicker training yesterday.  A practice game shown was much like the game "Hot and Cold".  I chose a task for my (human) friend to do.  As they got closer to accomplishing the task I "clicked".  The only thing I did not like is that humans should not be trained. 

        Remember, you are your own person!
