"It is not fashionable in so-called spiritual circles these days to talk of struggle. But the ancient yogis did not hesitate to acknowledge that life is full of struggle and pain. And yet, these early practitioners found that struggle itself could be transmuted into the most noble characteristics of the human being. Indeed, an optimal life is not possible without struggle. Liberation and struggle are two sides of the same coin."
~ Stephen Cope, The Wisdom of Yoga

There has been struggle after struggle in my life lately and I haven’t had the words to express what I’ve been walking through. I do know however that we can let the battle defeat us or be strengthened by it. I’m choosing strength.💗
