Why bother with practices?
Are we working toward self-improvement?
Trying to be happier?
Improving our health?
What is most important?
Getting clear with our underlying intentions helps us to sharpen our goals.
Allowing yourself to change those intentions is even more skillful.
It is also said that "we never practice for ourselves alone."
This is an important reminder to help us move beyond our own surface impulses.
Our hopes and dreams toward the fruits of our practices are important.<
