The Doberman's greatest weakness will likely manifest itself as your worst nightmare. With this secret, you can use it as your greatest ally.

A mysterious expert on the topic of inspirational motivation once said: 

“What you think, you create. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you become.”

Foundationally, despite the fantasy context behind this realm of thinking, such a concept has more power than any one man could possibly imagine without the divine intervention of God's revealing guidance.

The Doberman’s Greatest Weakness: Life Lessons

The Doberman's Greatest Weakness Doubles as Their Strongest Quality

Firstly, I'll start with the spoiler. Every Doberman's greatest weakness is their lifespan. Yes, I went there.

Sadly, Doberman's are known to die early with an average life expectancy of 9 years. Assuming you've got a American/European cross. To be clear, studies show that 100% Europeans or 100% American Dobermans average only 7 years old.

Granted this is only the average. To be clear, many have lived well past a decade. This is especially applicable when you consider their health, food, and care. To be brutally honest, this piece is going to dive deeper. Beyond the point of life and into the more painful realm of providing comfort after death.

From Weakness to Strength: The Doberman Transformation

article topic: The Doberman's Greatest Weakness

Nod your head if you've asked yourself this question, "How can the Doberman's greatest weakness be even remotely considered a strength?"

One word. Inspiration. Take it from an expert on tribulation. To expound, your own greatest weakness, your own greatest fears, and your own greatest barriers to life's most valuable adventures are best conquered when you stand tall and face it.

Indeed life has numberless demons. Accordingly, I've witnessed first hand the fruition of my worst nightmares becoming a reality. In truth, I'd be shocked to find any soul in this world that escapes the notice of cruel adversity. It is times like this that brings this famous quote to mind:

The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you’re worth, then go out and get what you’re worth. But you got to be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that.

Cherishing Every Moment with Your Doberman

Likewise, when it comes to our worst nightmare or deepest sorrow, we can dwell on the misery or we can use it to motivate us and harness that for good.

To explain, the human mind cannot comprehend the absence of something. Accordingly, in order to overcome the pain or sorrow in our lives, we must mold it into something else.

For example, instead of letting the life expectancy of a Doberman prevent you from ever getting one or enjoying the company of this amazing breed, or dreading sickness in your beloved companion, enable it to expound on cherishing every second of their existence. 

Similarly, have you ever experienced something so good that it hurt? Surprisingly, there is a very close correlation between pain and pleasure. In fact, this applies both internally and externally. To explain, you can block the intense feeling of pain by focusing on the pleasure of it. So even in your greatest times of grief, it is possible for you to open yourself up to the greatest of joys.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Romans 8:28

In conjunction, I'm struck with the eloquence of which this piece describes in harnessing the power of pain:

We need pain to provide a contrast for pleasure; without pain life becomes dull, boring and downright undesirable. Like a chocoholic in a chocolate shop, we soon forget what it was that made our desires so desirable in the first place.

To explain, instead of dreading the day that your dog dies, look forward to every second that you have together. Likewise, instead of dreading that your dog may someday get sick or acquire some other common ailment, focus instead on their health. 

Furthermore, if your dog is currently suffering from an ailment, instead of stressing about their troubles, focus on their recovery or the happiness of their remaining life.

Born to Stand Out: Embracing Your Unique Qualities

Comparatively, just as with Dobermans, you can turn your greatest weakness into your strongest virtue. To expound, consider these examples:

  • Feel like you never fit in? Well, maybe you were born to stand out.
  • Do people call you stubborn? Isn’t that what gets you through your hardest days? Digging in your heels and refusing to give up?

Accordingly, consider the lion. My favorite analogy. What are they without their teeth or their claws? Not a lion. Those rough edges of theirs is what defines them the best. How else can they protect their pride or even hunt? - I'm not rambling I promise. Stick with me here.

The Battle Before the Blessing: Navigating Life's Trials

article topic: The Doberman's Greatest Weakness

Irony. The worst about part about life is its inevitable end. In contrast, when your beloved Doberman passes, instead of grieving for years and never allowing another loving animal into your life, know that the Doberman itself is one of the best breeds to help you in your recovery from pain.

In truth, consider that your beloved Doberman that has passed on would want you to supply the kind of wonderful life that you gave to them to another. While we should grieve, we should not obsess. Just like the loss of any loved one, your dog in heaven would be saddened to think that you never moved on and were in a constant state of sorrow.

Accordingly, when you do get a new Doberman, do not diminish their individuality to the gem of your old one. Cherish and value their current traits and focus on enjoying the length of their life instead of the loss of another.

The Protective Nature of Our Fears

To those that feel as if their dreams are never reached, that the sunlight never comes - time can be your greatest ally or your worst enemy. Depending upon how you use it. Likewise, push forward through the storm no matter the delay. And know that your greatest works can come about during your hardest times.

Accordingly, when you cannot immediately reach your most valued treasure, let your imagination take you there.

The Doberman's greatest weakness: Are you ready for this challenge?

article topic: The Doberman's Greatest Weakness

In conclusion, instead of focusing on death. Set your sights on life. Instead of focusing on sickness, set your sights on health. Indeed, you give strength to whatever you give the most thought.

Likewise, a Tackleberry Doberman can feel the healing energies in your voice when you interact with them. In contrast, your Doberman will also pick out your obsession with sickness and will subsequently feel a greater pull towards death. 

Furthermore, this concept can be applied to every aspect of our lives. In truth, you know the devil is raging. I’m sure you’ve seen him at times on the sidelines waiting to strike, or found a trace of him behind a trouble. Don’t let him win. By all means, you can take greater control over your life when you utilize unharnessed evils for good.
