ONLY Ego And Competitive Spirit Leads To Yogic Enlightenment

Gotta move, gotta move.

It's late, hopefully I'll nail this the first time. Let's see...

You know how your yoga teacher is always banging on about not letting your ego come into your yoga practice. How you are not supposed to compete or compare.

Well I'm calling BULLSHIT. 

You should be trying as hard as you can, to get as good as you can, as fast as you can.

And if that involves comparison and you 'silently' competing...so much the better. GO FOR IT.

Surround yourself with mirrors. Get a goddamn selfie stick and take umpteen gazillion pictures and post them for the world to see how good you are.

Not only that...do it every damn day. Every minute of every damn day. Live, breathe, eat, crap and piss asana.

Do it incessantly, day in, day out. Post those pics. Get better. Make people envious. Revel in their praise. Gorge on it. Get better.

Tick every asana box...

Press handstand CHECK.

Urdhva dropbacks CHECK.

Full hanuman CHECK.

Full hanuman in handstand, drop back, put your front foot behind your head and arch back and catch your back foot in your mouth.

BIG 

FAT

C...H...E...C...K

You are IT and a bit. Keep going. Get even better.

Year after year, keep at it. Get so good, you make yourself sick, you are so 'sick' at asana.

Let everyone eat your dust. Let them fade to nothing in the rear view of your asana mirror. Be relentless. Practice more. Get even better.

Get drunk on asana. Puke asana, then drink some more. Cut yourself and bleed asana.

Be so far ahead of the pack, that nothing they could possibly do, could come even remotely close to matching your god/dess like asana abilities.

You're not gonna stop, but if you stopped now, and everyone else practiced every second, of every day, for their whole lives, on the day you die, you would still be better than every freakin' one of them.

Forget about everyone else not being in your league...They aren't even in your UNIVERSE.

Not even in your universe. Practice more. Bend. Stretch.  Breathe. Better.

Just you and your asana. So far ahead. So much practice.

No one can, or ever will compare. Stretch.

They can't compare. Inhale.

No need to compare. Exhale.
