My Highest Aspiration

This was my first assignment in my 200 hour yoga teacher training program. We had to describe our highest aspiration.

My highest aspiration

I am a lotus flower floating freely on the river of life - a universal current of pure energy, potential and love. My heart, unbound and free, leads my travels as i release my inner light and gracefully float with the will of the universe. I am unshackled and unrestrained and surrender to the mercy of God. I have no attachments, expectations or desires - for my destiny has been predetermined by a perfect higher power that guides those who seek their truth, who detach from the world and embrace their destiny. I observe the obstacles placed before me; ego, power, excitement, prestige, physical pleasures and material possessions designed to shackle my soul!!!
As i float along, i am alone, yet i connect with those who seek Freedom. Beauty. Love. Truth. Bliss. I embrace each bend in the river with love, gratitude, simplicity and acceptance. My destination is non attachment. Equanimity. Pure love. Contentment. Bliss. Where i am now means nothing compared to where i am going - I will follow my own unique path that has been lovingly and perfectly created just for me. Doubts, fears, insecurities dissipate and my heart soars in total freedom. I maintain stillness and peace within as I glide thru choppy waters and pristine surfaces alike. In having the strength to detach from the world, I am given everything that I need. I trust in the awesome power and beauty of truth. Anything is possible!!!!
