We all spend some time considering what we want and how to
get there. We plan, meditate, and take action. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes
we wobble, but hopefully we get back on the good foot and keep on doing our
thing.
There are a lot of trends and secrets claiming that if you
do these five things you’re sure to find success, or if you follow a certain
rule book, you’ll achieve all your dreams. Just like yoga, when you move like
yourself, and feel into the full range of yourself, you’ll get intuitive,
inspired, calm, capable and an incredibly strong and radiant body too.
Be nice
to people.
“Your Karma is a continuum, part of the process that is
happening to you now, not something far away in future life.” – OSHO
This is my favorite one, and it's important to add that you
should be nice to everyone whether you think they can do something for you or
not. You’ll feel more connected to yourself and your passion when you start to
extend your generosity toward people who can’t offer you anything other than a
smile in return.
Work
hard.
“Hard work has made it easy. That is my secret. That is why
I win. If it were easy everyone would be a champion.” - Nadia Comaneci
No one is going to do the work for you. Find the ease. Work
efficiently. Use what you need. Rest what you don’t.
Stop
complaining.
"Instead of complaining that the rosebush is full of
thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.” - Proverb
If you don’t like how something is, change it. We can’t
change everything, but we can do quite a bit about our circumstances when we
drop the complaints. You have to like where you are in order to get where
you're going. Get comfortable with who you are and work from there.
Take
care of yourself.
“Every human being is the author of his own health or
disease.” - Buddha
Your health is a responsibility that is completely in your
control. Make time for relaxation, practice and stimulation. Take baths. Read
good books. Take long walks. These activities are crucial to your health and
your success.
Be
patient.
“If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been
owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent.” - Isaac Newton
Things might not (and usually don’t) happen with the timing
that you want. Patience can be your biggest asset. Cultivate it. Allow space
for things to turn out different than your plan. Different might be a lot
better, so broaden your perspective.
Have
fun.
“If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun.” -
Katharine Hepburn
If you’re not having fun, then what’s the point? Who made the
rules? Watch your intention. It could very easily end up on a t-shirt for your
next clothing line.
