Get To The Point! - Personal Practice

Sometimes you need to take a few steps back to take a leap forward.

The more aware I become of myself and that patterns that define my day to day existence, the more overwhelming it can be.

I “thought” I was moving in the direction I needed to in order to accomplish my goals, but when challenged to look at the direction I was taking I realized it all looked perfect on paper.  However it wasn’t realistic.

Sometimes your own self-motivation is not enough and you need a fresh perspective to see the flaws in all that you think you know.

So I found myself angry and frustrated this past week because I thought I had all the answers and my plan to achieve the goals I have set for myself were clearly laid out.  Now I see from a fresh perspective of someone else that I am perfect, perfectly flawed that is!  

What a relief!  

Now I can step back and work on the practice of letting perfection go (Again!).  I am free to make mistakes and give myself some more time to enjoy the art of working on my goals and relish the journey in the process.

So this week I say, thank goodness for constructive criticism!  It helps keep me a sane person.

Set an Intention!

Get To The Point! - Yoga Lesson

So many of us talk too much in order to make a point.

We think the more we stress an idea of ours the more others should understand.  

More importantly, the more we talk it through the more we may believe it ourselves.

Why not keep it simple and stop overanalyzing over talking it?  

Why not follow through and give “something” a try?  Get to the point!  Jump in!  Do it!

I too am working on getting to the point.  I do not say these words lightly as I truly understand how hard it is to make the things in life that you want happen.

Sometimes the lessons we receive are harsh, but necessary to get us moving.

So get out there and Get To the Point!
