It seems to me like something as sacred as the … Continue reading 500 WORDS, DAY 148: Emanation of God’s Light
500 WORDS, DAY 146: Life is a Series of Nows
Be here now. It’s all we can really ever learn to do to get by. If we’re not present for our greatest victories, why did we work so hard to achieve them?

500 WORDS, DAY 145: Disconnect

500 WORDS, DAY 142: Time Flies
Time flies while we sit around idly thinking about it. Time is life, and although it provides us with a blank canvas to start our journey from, it is also active, and is constantly on the move.

The word ‘yoga’ comes from the same root as the word ‘yoke’. A yoke is used to bind two animals together.

500 WORDS, DAY 135: Positivity & Compassion
Strive at all times to become a completely positive person. Life is unpredictable so, as far as I’m concerned, we can never really outsmart it.
