“Don’t ask what the world needs.  Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive”

                                                      Howard Thurman
 
 
The practice of yoga asks us to come alive.  It coaxes us from the unreal to the real, clearing away the clutter from our minds and bodies enveloping us in the present moment.  Feel into what makes you come alive today.  What gives you butterflies in your core, what makes you tickle with delight?  Allow the feeling of “aliveness” to stay with you so you can share your excitement with others. 
Even if we are dealing with something not very pleasurable or even difficult today we can still work to be “alive”  by connecting to doing the best we can do.  Releasing your avidya (spiritual ignorance) and realizing what truly is important can also bring you to a state of aliveness.  Cultivating patience, compassion, tolerance and love in every moment not only brings about a state of inner peace but also helps cultivate those qualities around you helping to establish an outer environment of serenity for others.  We cannot change what happens around us but we certainly can change our reaction to it. 
Breathe and embrace your aliveness today and find the things that bring you closer to a state of happiness, grace and joy; you owe it to yourself and the world to be the best you can be.
