You’re most attractive when you are unaware of yourself. It’s like when your mate wants to love on you first thing in the morning, when you are “a mess.” Your hair is mussed up, you’ve got dragon breath, and you are out of it. You have completely let down your guard and are innocent and blameless. You wouldn’t want anybody to see you in that state! But that’s when you are most attractive, when you aren’t gussied up, weary of what people think, and when you’re fresh out of bed and still “out of it.”
Dogs don’t know how to gussy themselves. They just know how to be themselves – spastic, curious, naked, eager, and innocent. My dog Molly is a princess. She’s regal, as regal as a spaz and a klutz. She thinks the world is “hers,” and it is, in a way. She thinks every shopping bag contains stuff for her. When I’m cooking, she’s under the impression that it’s hers. She’s eager, even though it’s human food. Her tail wags. She’s innocently naive. And that’s what makes her irresistible. I can’t help but give her a taste (or two).
The part of the law of attraction that we often miss is what makes us cuddly and irresistible. Our blamelessness, our klutziness, and our false impression that the world is ours. It is when we’re naive and don’t know any better that we’re attractive and irreducible. You can’t back up from who you are, but when you cover it, it’s unbecoming. I like you first thing, when you haven’t gussied. That’s when you’re irresistible, when you’re still out of it, but not cranky. Just unaware, naive, eager, klutzy – irresistibly you.
Oh that we would know our natural state and never cover it up again! We’d be so irresistible, the world would be eating out of our hands.
