…that there is no such thing as a panacea (not even yoga). That to be better takes concerted effort using a myriad of solutions and tools.
…that suffering is a necessary evil. We are better people for it.
…that denying yourself builds character but occasionally giving in generates more happiness.
…that you can never be too kind to yourself.
…that you can have happiness NOW.. not when you’re thinner, richer or partnered up.
…that being happy doesn’t mean never being sad (or angry).
…that gratitude will change your perspective. Every. Single. Time.
…that embracing the unknown can be incredibly liberating.
…that surrounding yourself with people and things you love is medicine for the soul.
…that it’s up to us to define and shape our lives. Not societal precepts.
“…above all treasure love, moderation and humility. Love begets courage, moderation creates abundance and humility generates power. Courage without love is brutish. Abundance without moderation leads to over-indulgence and decay. Power without humility breeds arrogance and tyranny.” – B. K. S. Iyengar

I believe every day is a gift…even it turns out to be a turd, there are lessons to be learned. I also believe you are awesome and I’m so grateful to know you.
I hate turd-like days! But, yes, every day is definitely a gift that shouldn’t be taken for granted! 🙂 Thank you for all of your support, Cara. It has been a blessing to have you in my life.
My brother suggested I might like this website. He was entirely right.
This post truly made my day. You cann’t imagine just how much time I
had spent for this info! Thanks!
