Fortune Cookie Wisdom.....but NCC*

* No Corgi Content

I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, but of course I do eat it now and again. And, of course, it always comes with a fortune cookie as dessert. We all know the best part of that is the fortune inside. Now there's a chance you've heard of the game kids (teenagers I hope!) play where when you read your fortune out loud you add the words "in bed" to the end of whatever is written for the fortune. This always adds a lot more giggles to the meaning of the fortune.

Well, being agility obsessed as I am, I read fortunes for how they can relate to the journey Jimmy and I are on to our agility championship. I then save the ones that I feel are inspirational. So, while not giggle-inducing, they still have an effect on me. I was cleaning out my wallet the other day and here are the ones that I felt were worthy of keeping.....

I am not sure which one is my favorite. They are all meaningful to me or I would not have saved them, but I think "Do not let ambitions overshadow small success" is a very relevant one for agility. It is so easy to leave the ring disappointed when you don't qualify and completely disregard the fact that some other challenge in the ring was met with perfection. There is quite a mind game to agility for the human team member and it's funny how these little pieces of paper can raise good points!

Oh and it's also funny if you add "in bed" to any of these. "Your dearest wish will come true in bed". LOL! See how that works ;-)
