Lesson Learned. What was the best thing you learned about yourself this past year? And how will you apply that lesson going forward? (Author: Tara Weaver)
I have high expectations and desires. As I delve deeper into my meditation practice I notice that I am clouded with expectations that I have for myself and others as well as a strong desire to change things. I am aware and I see that when I am driven by expectation and desire I am actually moving farther away from my spiritual path and right way. I am no master or expert, nor can I say that this is a lesson entirely learned however I can say that I have realized, I am aware and I see the seed of my troubles. I am moving forward with this everyday by reflected on my behavior, actions and habitual patterns and I know that I will dig up that seed many times before it is weak enough and has no more energy to keep sprouting. I am cultivating a garden of patience, contentment, purity, non-violence and truth. If I do not tend to my garden daily, I will have more weeds to dig up. I will continue to do the things that I know help me to stay connected to my individual soul and the universal soul. Practice Yoga.
