The best thing about starting this new business adventure is
that I can mold it into what I desire it to be.
I can start small and grow with and through the journey to experience it
fully. My imagination is allowed to run
at high speeds creating and dreaming up new ideas and directions for how OTP
Yoga will eventually look to and connect with its friends and audience. Like the breath, the picture of what is to
come is constantly in motion, fluid and changing.
Those who dream by day
are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only at night. ~Edgar
Allan Poe
In moments of meditation, I find that my mind wanders to
this dream and circles around it then runs with it. When noticed, I call the attention back to
the breath but the mind continually drifts back to OTP Yoga. At night I lay in bed thinking about it and
wake up dreaming about it. The classes
and private practices I will hold, sequences designed, friends and connections made,
the studio – oh the beautiful studio my mind creates. The dream grows to the kids lying on mats
that are three times bigger than them finding peace, self-awareness and acceptance. I can see the bolsters, blankets, blocks and
straps all ready for the yin and restorative practices that will be held as the
sun is drifting down through the windows, lowering the lighting. If I look really close, I can see OTP Café, a
charming little café attached to the studio, with a handsome barista selling coffees,
lattes and teas, offering a cute little tasty treats. And this is where I will sit and connect with
friends and family before and after classes or alone planning for the next week
or month or daydreaming about what OTP Yoga will be next. This adventure truly is a license to
dream.
The future belongs to
those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
While spending all my time dreaming is really very appealing,
I also love that this adventure gives me license to create in other ways
too. When faced with challenges, I can
become creative in my solutions and the ways I problem solve. I can choose to be brave. I can choose resourceful and innovative, using
all opportunities as ways to grow both personally and professionally. I can use my eyes to see the beauty in all
that God sets before me.
All our dreams can
come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. ~Walt Disney
Everything starts with a thought, a little dream. If I chase it and work hard for it, it will
grow. Like grass needs water, I need
support. I am blessed to have made
connections with special people that have much more knowledge than I when it
comes to running a small business. Special
people who are truly beautiful inside and out that believe in me. Exceptional people that what to help and see
me succeed because in my success is their success. Unique people who also believe that success
in its true form looks like happiness and agree that they can succeed best and
quickest by helping and guiding others to find little pieces of happiness
too. It is really all just about the
LOVE and I just really like that!
Namaste,
Lindsey
