““I realize that wherever I am, I arrived. Lessons from the Mat How to Know if You are Not a Yogi (yet)  You think your practice is better than the person next to you.   You think you rpractice is worse than the person next to you.   Your clothes are super cute, but you are kind of mean.   You make the finger Mudra of connecting Pointer to Thumb Man on every pose. Meanwhile your back is killing you.   You are still whining over stupid shit. Come on, really? Is it ever going to end?   You see what’s wrong with everything, and everyone.   And lastly, if you think you are a yogi, then you may not be. But if you think are never going to learn it all, then you probably are a yogi. Welcome to the path!””
