“Surrender to the journey…enjoy it along the way…and keep practicing.” —BalanceYogaByAmanda
This quote hits home with me in so many things. Not with doing handstands in yoga, however that will be awesome if I one day get to that point. But, with my work, with my friendships and with my marriage, which last week we celebrated 15 years.
It’s easy to want the end result we imagine or see and if we don’t get there instantly we become disappointed, maybe give up. We think falling down means failure but we forget that getting back up means strength. And, it’s through practice we learn what we love the most, where we have more work to do and become stronger in what we’re doing. Or we learn what’s not for us and that it may be time to go a different route or try a new direction.
If you’re always looking ahead you miss what’s right in front of you and the unexpected detours you may never have imagined. Today, look at whatever journey it is you’re on, look for the good, any detours you had not expected at the beginning and allow yourself to bask in that.
