Reading Time: 3 minutes Certain words get a really bad wrap. I think discipline is one of them. Most of the time discipline isn’t about doing what’s hard. It’s about doing what’s easy, even when it’s dull. Many years ago one of my early yoga instructors refused to use the words “yoga practice”.

Reading Time: 2 minutes The idea that many of us have mad skills borne out of passion to learn or necessity, have allowed many of us to live more fulfilling lives.
