(Pit Bull) Stereotypes

Stereotypes are ridiculous.  They hinder our progress as a society and they prevent us from recognizing the beauty in individuals.  We are all guilty of stereotyping.  Whether it be based on race, gender, dress size, or dog type.  We all have expectations associated with certain characteristics.  We weren't born that way, yet sadly, as we age, we begin to fall somewhere on the judgment spectrum.  Each day I try to slide myself one notch farther away from judgment and on my way to loving.  It is a struggle for me.  I am very judgmental about certain things.  Yet I try to open myself up to new experiences and new people to reverse my tendency to judge.  Watching this video helped me today.  It brought me tears and chills and meshed with the intention I set during my yoga practice:  Judge less, love more.

Children and Their Pit Bulls

I hope this video moves you in the way it did me.  Happy Tuesday :)
