Today was yoga day and who could imagine that I could miss skipping out of it one week? Getting back on the mat felt good. It's a challenge at the end of the day that makes you focus on your position, you muscles, your form. After a day of running around with a million things swirling around in your head, focusing on that moment for 60 minutes is great.
Today's principle or thought was to be in the moment, to respect where you are today. Where you have come from and what you are doing at this moment.
Respecting where you are today sometimes means understanding where you once were. Last year I was on a path to where I am today. I made the application, accepted the call and was ready for the questions. When a road block got in my way I dipped a bit but pulled ahead with some great support.
I think about 2011 quite a bit but am doing so less and less each day. When you're surrounded by people that are set on success of the team, you forget about those that encouraged the opposite and recognize that it is your past.
The moment that you are in right now is the one that you created for yourself. Your family, your friends, the confidants that kept you afloat. They are the ones that helped you on the path that lead you to today.
When you are given a choice of paths to take. You know the right one. Avoid the monsters, forget the weasels and walk loudly with a big stick. And don't forget to enjoy the view.
