"Equanimity gives you the ENERGY to PERSIST, regardless of the OUTCOME, because you are
connected to the INTEGRITY of the effort itself."

equanimity: state of mental or emotional stability.
Trying to find a "state of emotional stability" is why I practice yoga. If I can find that place within myself, the place where I am in control of my emotions, where I decide how to react to the events in my life (good or bad or indifferent), then my life no longer becomes about the end goal.
My life becomes my journey. All that matters is "the effort itself". And if the effort is done with good intentions, then I have succeeded.

I tried yoga for the first time recently and LOVED IT! I can't believe it took me that long to give it a shot!

ReplyDeleteDearest Kate,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy beyond words to see what you wrote me on my comments page. I truly believe that we WRITE and READ to KNOW THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE....(That last part is from the movie, Shadow Lands). We need to express ourselves, and dreaming is the beginning of a process that can be so rewarding. Thank you for coming and please, come by again. I try to write positive, inspiration and fun posts. There is really no other way to live a GOOD life; negative words don't heal!
ENJOY YOUR DAY and BLESSINGS TO YOU! Anita
I need to do some more yoga! Thanks for the inspiration.
