I think one of the things I like about dogs is we learn from them. One lesson I have found is they are just themselves. So
Make A Genuine Effort To Be Genuine.
This dog was pooped, and just decided to rest WHEREVER he was comfortable. Not worrying about image all the time. I am not encouraging you in a suit and tie world to dress in torn shorts and flip flops or pee on trees, we have some limited fitting in, but in general BE REAL.
Too often MANY of us have so many SOCIAL MASKS I wonder if THE OTHER PEOPLE know who the real YOU is inside. Avoiding PRETENSE. Attempting to make something that is not the case appear true. If you don't cover a certain area in real estate, niche or geographic, just be honest if attempting this, that you will do your best. I find the trait of being GENUINE with lots of people, in short supply. If you don't like something all your peers like you don't have to rant and blog and get in a big fight about the differences, JUST don't always go along to get along if it is not you. It's OK, being genuine will give you much more inner peace than fighting your true nature.
Since we as humans are much more complex than dogs, we will have social masks, who we are in private, with close friends, out in public, but the key in being REAL is have FEW of them, where they are just slight modifications on your TRUE self. If you find yourself being WILDLY not real with who you are in your core, you need to look in the mirror, reign yourself in, and get back on track. We are not perfect creatures like our DOGS :) Do your best, but BE REAL, to you and OTHERS.
