There are many things in life that we cannot change or control but we do have the power to transform our minds and our experience of life. We can become more patient, kind, insightful and compassionate.

Our spiritual practice allows us to see with fresh eyes. Seeing clearly is seeing things and people as they are, not as we hope or think they should be.

One of the errors we commonly make is to see through the filter of our memory and superimpose the past on the present. Removing that conceptual overlay is one of the goals of yoga practice. To be spiritually awake is to see things as they are, not as we are.

Things are what they are. What they are to us is up to us.

The purpose of spiritual practice is to discover what is already there, to open up a way to access that which we are. Realize what is already so. This is the real work.

The shift in our perspective that occurs when we realize that what we are looking for is already within us makes all of the difference. Understanding the purpose of meditation and spiritual practices supports our motivation to do it regularly. We still work at it, but without the striving of ego to be good, better, or more spiritual.

The results of our spiritual practice are consistent with our focus. It is not how hard we work at it, but how focused we are and how intentionally we live.
