Enthusiasm, The Secret of Eternal Youth

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “Enthusiasm, The Secret of Eternal Youth.”

Youth is not a time of life – it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of ripe cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions. It is freshness of the deep springs of life. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their ideals. Years wrinkle the skin but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul

- Swami Bua, age 100

The homework is to visit your ideals. Write them down. Edit them. Then with enthusiasm, live them.

Blessings,
