Time, Goal or Purpose — What's Your Life Orientation?
There are three kinds of travelers in the journey of life. The time-oriented drift without direction, pulled between the past and the future. The goal-oriented are fewer in number. They are disciplined, productive, capable of genuine achievement, yet remain bound to outcomes that satisfy only briefly for the next goal already looms ahead. The purpose-oriented are rarer still. In them, thought, speech, and action flow naturally and spontaneously. They seek answers to profound questions.

Asanas
Asana means “seat” in Sanskrit. In Yoga, the different poses or postures are called asanas. There is only one sutra in The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali that mentions the word asanas. It says: Sthira sukham asanam. Sthira means “steady” and indicates a static pose without movement. While sukham typically means “happy,” it means “comfortable” or “relaxed” in this case. This sutra indicates that The Yoga Sutras are referring to static poses, not done in the spirit of competition.
