(click title for image) The path of right-living people is level. The Leveler evens the road for the right-living. Lately my focus has been on living a life of intention focused on contentedness. Helping me to be less reactive and get out of my emotions so I can focus on how to be of better service to others. The human condition revels in successes and the drama of failures. We get a thrill out of life's highs and lows. We often hope our monumental decisions will be what defines our character, "he was on a 6 month mission trip", "she donated all of her things to charity", "they adopted a child". But it's who we are while in line at the grocer, it's how we speak to our friends and our family, it's the humility we have in the face of conflict that will define our character. I encourage my students not to fidget between or in postures, so their energy can be focused on maximizing the posture as well as inspiring those around them to remain focused. In our daily life, we can reduce the fidgeting, creating space in our life for growth and reflection, and providing us with the energy to invest in others. Living a life of contentedness, in line with our ethics, creates peace and abundance. Reflect on your life, habits, daily rituals and routines. How can you straighten your path, remove obstacles and live a life of even more abundance? Just set your intention and live it out. Like anything, the more we practice, the more natural it comes.
