Fright in the dog and Fight in the dog

As previously introduced Chester the dog has qualities that we can all learn from to help our lives be more fruitful and happier.

Chester has cemented himself as leader of the pack of dogs who physically have the qualities to overpower him and logically place his rank at the bottom of the pack hierarchy. Chesters pack involves a red healer (Australian Cattle Dog), a German shepherd and an American Staffy.

How does Chester lead a pack that could literally eat him alive?

Chester is very self aware as far as his physical qualities go but with that said he does not let the fear of what the larger dogs could do affect what what he wishes to achieve.

This can be simplified by "the amount of fright in the dog will always limit the amount of fight in the dog".

Now Chester asserts this lack of fear with a calm controlled demeanor that is void of aggression. Chester does assert his dominance when required through strategic action but not as an act of aggression that is the fruit of fear.

These principals are seen through animals but rightly so for people too.

Is your fear causing you to limit yourself, to react inappropriately or allow yourself to not see who you really are?

Are people limiting you because you are limiting yourself?
