Your Roadmap to Greatness

Advance In Retreat…

 

How can I live life fully?  This is one of the central questions that goes through the mind of any seeker.  It is a question I ask myself often, or more precisely, daily.  Through lots of reading, writing, thinking, exploring, I often feel like I'm on the verge of knowing something great, of finding the answer, of getting to an incredible 'aha' moment.    

Maybe that's why I signed up for a weekend yoga retreat:  To retreat into myself & get to the bottom of it…my purpose, my calling, my dharma….

The beautiful part for me about a retreat though is not that I will retreat into doing nothing at all.  Exactly the opposite, actually.  Real spiritual practice is always an Advance, not a Retreat.  (I read that somewhere so I cannot take credit for it, but I think it captures it perfectly.)  I love the idea of advancing further on my journey, and I'm not afraid of the work it may take to get there.

Advance.  Don't Retreat.
