On the Board at Good Life Yoga: Happy New Year 1/3/10
Aspire to Greatness
What attitude will you choose for 2010? I can guarantee you that many unexpected and wonderful things will happen to you this year. And I can guarantee that you will be pushed into new, uncomfortable territory as well. But what one defining attitude will you bring to both situations? What will drive you to get up in the morning, put your feet to the floor and step forward into the day no matter what is happening? Your aspiration to embrace your Greatness.
The day needs you. Your life, right now, playing out breath by breath needs you. Needs your full cooperation; your attention, your full devotion because you matter.
There is only one you in this world. You live only one moment at a time - Infuse the moment with your aspiration for greatness. Choose this year to live fully. There’s no more time to wait.
When I was young, my childhood friend best friend, Vita, had a plaque on her bedroom wall that I memorized:
“I have only just a minute, only 60 seconds in it.
Didn’t choose it, can’t refuse it, but it’s up to me to use it.
I must suffer if I lose it; give account if I abuse it,
I have only just a minute but eternity is in it.

What will you do with your eternal minute?
Give it life. Give it support. Infuse it with your aspiration for greatness. Come to the mat this week and find your passion to breathe fully, life fully and give this life its due. It’s 2010. Let’s do this thing.
