Painting and Yoga

Painting

Even an incredibly talented artist depends on the quality of his materials.  If he is given mediocre materials to work with, his work will never be as spectacular as if he is given the best quality paints, brushes and canvas.

Yoga

The really wonderful thing about yoga is that you have to completely concentrate on what you are doing, so you have an hour and a half of not thinking about all the other crap in your life.  You are forced to live in the moment.  The hard part about yoga is then taking that quality of focus and deliberation to the other areas of your life.  If only we could all live more in each moment of our lives.  To be completely present in every conversation, interaction and task.  People who are able to do this have a tremendous power about them.  They make the people they are around feel special, energized, cared for, listened to, peaceful.
