Another Rumi Quote

"Re-empty of worrying. Why do you stay in prison when the door is so wide open?" Rumi

I love this quote since it describes the human condition so well. We spend so much of our time worrying and fretting that we end up feeling immobilized and 'imprisioned' by our own doubts.

Yoga teaches us mindfulness and awareness. Hopefully we come to realize (even if it's only for a few moments at a time) that life is fleeting and our worries really do not serve us well.

Just for today, try to let go of re-hashing the past or worrying about the future. The door is wide open for us to fully experience the day and moment at hand.

Have a worry free day!
