Have you got what it takes to become a perfect Yogi?

If you can start the day without caffeine,
If you can get going without pep pills,
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment
If you can ignore a friend’s limited education and never correct him,
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
Then You Are Probably The Family Dog!
A friend sent me this email today. I don’t know who wrote it originally.
It looks like a dog can be a perfect Yogi or Yogini (a female yoga practitioner) much easier than we humans can. Our mind gets in the way! If we only could learn how to just be, without constantly judging and criticising we would be a lot happier.
Try it for 1 hour - make a real effort to suspend judgment for 1 hour of your day today, look at things as they are, not the way you think they are. Share your experiences in the Comments Section.
