We Are Not Meant To Be Perfect;

You Don’t Learn From Successes; You Don’t Learn From Awards; You Don’t Learn From Celebrity; You Only Learn From Wounds And Scars And Mistakes And Failures. And That’s The Truth.

I Spent A Good Deal Of Time Going Back Over My Childhood, My Midlife, To Try To Understand Who I Was. We're Supposed To Be Complete And Whole, And You Can't Be Whole If You're Trying To Be Perfect. Doing A Life Review Helped Me Get Over The Disease To Please.

As Is My Way, When I Start Something That I've Put Off Doing, I Always Start With The Hardest Form. So I Started With Ashtanga.

Rituals Are Important. I Get Up. I Take The Dogs On A Walk Around To The Front And Then I Pick Up The Papers. Then I Walk Around To The Front Door, Then Me And The Two Dogs Come In The House And I Give Them Treats. I Make Coffee. It's The Regularity Of These Kinds Of Rituals That I Find Deeply Satisfying.

The Most Incredible Beauty And The Most Satisfying Way Of Life Come From Affirming Your Own Uniqueness.
