The Greatest Challenge
The practice of yoga provides the individual with
some of the greatest challenges that they may ever experience. For
these challenges are internal and go deep into the inner self. Once
you overcome the internal challenges anything is possible.
These challenges are the limitations that we
all have in whatever form. However what sets the yoga practictioner
apart from the rest is that they embrace these with a passion
and set about improving and overcoming these weaknesses.
They strive on self-improvement and the satisfaction that comes
with accomplishment. |
The challenge of self improvment is just a
decision away.
However it will require the key ingredient of discipline.
Discipline means
"to do the things you don't want to do
when you know you need to do them."
To overcome your existing limitations first you must
admit to having them. Most people live in a state of denial and
pretend these limitations don't exist, they just make excuses or
even worst just give up and claim it's just to hard. That won't
change a thing however and things only get worse.
Self improvment is the practice that pushes the mind
against its own limits, and the key ingredients are endurance and
determination
An important part of any undertaking as such is to
get out of the comfort zone and live always at the edge. Deliberately
challenge your body and mind, applying formidable will power to
whatever practice you vow to undertake.
If you are to improve you must face temptations
and learn from these encounters. A temptation is considered
to be short term pleasure with long term play.
That is why discipline plays such an important role. You must
define your motivations to improve and make sure they are of
worthy cause. |
When your motivations are shallow you will
eventually be found out, even if no one else ever knows you do!
Discipline builds strength of character and therefore
improves your entire life. You need not be a victim and live your
life reacting to situations.
