Frequently, action will be encouraged and supported by friends and family with the phrase "You are well on the way." This is indubitably a phrase with good intention. It often evokes feelings of happiness and purpose. It also ought to be examined further
A phrase like this must force ourselves to ask, "Am I actually well as I take on this next challenge/initiative?" Am I in a state of wellness that will foster my next steps? Or will I hastily jump into something without being a strong enough version of me, thereby likely setting up for a failure that will make me myopic about the future, rather than calcifying my assiduous resolve in the future?
This is a very large reason I decided to commit to the Sivanada Ashram. Yes, I've done a lot of things that have made me grow and I know an incandescent future looms for me. However, I didn't see a lot of my fundamentals as sound. I lack discipline, focus, and the spiritual grounding that I will need to accomplish grand ambitions for the rest of my life. So I decided to be well on my way!
