What Is My Right Path?
Your personal dharma is the path you follow toward the highest expression of your own nature—and toward the fulfillment of your responsibilities to yourself, to others, to your society, and to the planet.
(from this Daily Insight newsletter)
Among my sources of inspiration is Yoga Journal; in particular, the Daily Insight newsletter that graces my inbox every day. I don’t regularly practice Yoga per se; there’s not really an all-encompassing name for the homespun spiritual/physical system that works for me: an amalgam of walking, free-writing, doing Charles Atlas exercises, playing hockey, stretching, meditating (musing) and working in the studio. Nevertheless, to the extent possible I enjoy thinking and being like a yogi, and I appreciate the potential for wisdom that comes from quiet observation of the self and reflection upon the world around us.
The Daily Insights are usually profound in their simplicity, but occasionally they bravely address deep existential dilemmae. This one in particular—dealing with right action and questions of one’s higher purpose—has stuck with me like a memory of a recurring dream.
