One of Yoga’s guiding principles is “santosha” or contentment. Reaching for this goal may be challenging for those of us who may want things to be different than they really are. However, it is a worthwhile aspiration, learning to accept what is happening, right now, rather than wishing for what it could be. It is easy to think ,
“I will be happy when my true love comes along; when I have more money and things; when I’m thin again; when springtime comes again.”
Boomers, and those beyond, might eventually come to understand life doesn’t work like that. We are required to be content no matter what, if we want peace of mind.
