LIFE ADVICE WITH ANIMAL ANALOGIES

Go with the flow like a dead fish.

- VIKTORIA SHULEVICH

If you don't like where the flow is going, stop the flow like a beaver does with wood.

Laughter is the best medicine, unless you laugh like a hyena, in which case you should laugh like a hamster. (Hamsters don't laugh.)

Pursue your goals with passion and determination like a mountain lion stalking a household pet.

Remember that it's all about the journey, not the destination. So enjoy the views along the way like a mountain lion watching a household pet's owner heading off to work.

No matter what life throws at you, always keep one foot on the ground like a pink flamingo and your head buried in the sand like an ostrich. This may sound impossible, but you can do it if you practice Pilates.

Age gracefully but invisibly, like a pigeon.
