Yoga Really Helps

this is something i really need to remember:

1. one can choose to be happy or sad or angry or fearful or blissful at any given moment.
2. doesn't always feel like it, but it's true
3. no really, it is.
4. there are all kinds of roads one can go down- some that will shred your tires, and some that will be very smooth. all of them have good lessons.
5. once you learn those lessons, you don't have to stay on the same road.
6. sometimes you wind up back on the road you thought you had conquered. guess what?!?

truly, i must remember that when i remember my sadhana, i can face whatever road i wind up on, with grace, or at least awareness. it is not an obligatory practice that makes me cool. it is a necessary and fulfilling practice which keeps me calm and centered. and i really need that.
