If you lie to yourself, how can you ever hope to be honest with anyone else? Intimacy and connection in earnest begin with a feeling of wholeness within. You are only ever willing to meet people where they are to the extent that you have met yourself. We spend so much time trying to prove ourselves to “the world” when we are the ones whose love and approval is hardest to get.

So much of life is wasted on feeling unworthy, thinking that you’re less-than, wondering if you have what it takes and doubting yourself. You may find it hard to believe but I often find myself in that funk. It’s always the times when I questioned myself the most that I had something really valuable to offer. All the times I thought I was so cool, that I was so special, and my talk was big—all those times I nearly fell flat on my face. It goes to show you that no amount of bluster can cover up what is missing inside. And no amount of doubt can prevent what is meant to shine from coming though. Now, as a teacher, I pay extra attention to the quiet ones in the corner who don’t talk a lot, who seem introverted but hard-working, the ones who almost never volunteer to answer a question but who will take the practice home and make it their own. I’ve seen way too many talented out-spoken, front of the room, everything-is-awesome students drop the practice for the next cool trendy thing that comes their way. It’s been over 20 years on the mat and this practice is confronting, demanding intimacy, honesty and vulnerability. To keep practicing is to walk the unsung hero’s journey, privately conquering demons and winning wars without the hope of a big homecoming parade. To practice yoga for a lifetime is to make the world a better place, starting with the world of your own mind and heart.
