Practice - Personal Practice

A large part of my personal practice lately has been about relationships.

This is particularly interesting because I’ve been struggling with the loss of a couple of friendships lately due to differing approaches in life.

Sometimes a relationship is not healthy and you need to take steps to end it for your own wellbeing.  

But with reflection I’m reminded of the realization that people come and go from our lives.  

Sometimes the relationship ends with no chance of it being rebuilt, but sometimes it can be rekindled.

Today I had an old friend reached out to me, someone I haven’t heard from in a long time.  How wonderful it is to get a note from my friend.  And to be reminded that when one door closes another opens.

So I choose to look to the future, the unexpected, and the unknown.  I’ll let go of the past and the experiences and things that can’t be changed.

Set an Intention!

Practice - Yoga Lesson

I use to think why does this person or that person seem to have all the good luck?  How do I get that kind of luck and happiness?

I would work myself to a crazy frenzy thinking if I just achieve this next thing then I’ll be happy too.  

However it always seemed that there was something else I needed to add to my list to be happy.

Now with awareness and practice I see that no matter how much I work and achieve that the accomplishments do not mean much without my personal practice of happiness.

Mastery of my happiness is up to me.  I must Practice!
