Success: Standing Strong in the Breath and Radiating Love


“Follow your intuition. Be smart, be brave, tell the truth & don't take any shit.” ~Kelly Cutrone

Intuition and God are what is driving me on this path, this adventure of One True Pair Yoga.  Many decisions will have to be made, opportunities will come and go, and rejection will happen.  What it is today, a dream, and what it will be tomorrow will not resemble each other.  One True Pair Yoga will grow into whatever it is supposed to be by His grace as long as I listen and trust. 

“If prayer is you talking to God, then intuition is God talking to you.” ~Dr. Wayne Dyer

As this path progresses, I will need to learn how to stand stronger in my voice and how to get out of my own way.  My head likes to trip me up sometimes.  It likes to make me think I am still the lanky, big eared 4th grader that I once was.  When my inner 4th grader shows up, my voice shakes as does my confidence and when I close my eyes, she is who I see.  I could have the greatest idea in the world, but I couldn’t tell you about it.  Still today, sometimes the mirror surprises me.  I have grown into myself in my own beautiful way.  I can no longer fly by flapping my ears and I don’t trip over my own feet anymore, and my movements aren’t as unsure and neither is my head.  Learning to stand strong in the breath and the voice will help me encourage my future customers, inspire possible employees and reassure partners that I know my trade, that I love it and that I love them.  This will be challenging for me but I love meeting new people and I love helping others. 

“It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed.” ~Napoleon Hill

Dear God, let it begin with me.  I have gotten sucked into consumerism, needing brand named purses, shoes and MORE.  It never satisfied me long.  I have gotten sucked into myself.  Being selfish, self-centered and self-serving.  These have never made me feel needed, loved or appreciated.  Being consumed with myself and my things never truly made me feel beautiful.  In fact, all it did was shed light on all the other areas of my life and myself that were “inadequate”.  While it is okay to want nice things, I believe that I need to make sure that whatever it is that I am buy, I am buying it and that it is not buying me.  I believe that success in its true form looks like happiness, acceptance and peace.  Therefore, according to the quote above, I can succeed best and quickest by helping and guiding others to find little pieces of happiness, acceptance and peace.  And I just really like that!

Namaste,

Lindsey
