The right lighting

Reading from Tuesday, August 19, 2014 yoga class

From the book "Quiet" by Susan Cain

"The secret to life is to put yourself in the right lighting.  For some it's a Broadway spotlight; for others, a lamp lit desk.  Use your natural powers--of persistence, concentration, insight and sensitivity--to do work you love and work that matters.  Figure out what you are meant to contribute to the world and make sure you contribute it!  We know from myths and fairy tales that there are many different kinds of powers in this world.  One child is given a light saber, another a wizard's education.  The trick is not to amass all the different kinds of available power, but to use well the kind you have been granted."
