“There is only one thing that is better then getting what you want, it’s being happy weather you get it or not”.
This quote is from some part of my studies, from a book or a lecture, or a conversation with a friend. I can’t remember the actual source but the words in them selves are some how stuck, deeply rooted at the back of my mind. I bring them forward to my attention often, almost every day. I find the words fascinating and so true. Being happy weather life turns out the way you pictured it or not is ultimately a matter of freedom. Not to build your joy, your lightness and your inspiration on a specific scenario or well scheduled circumstances, but to instead find the solid ground and security within your self and create your own happiness. This to me is real freedom and strength.
It is also a profound yoga practice more challenging then any armbalance or deep kumbahaka I can think of.
