How can Yoga help you to start living your own life, enable you to pursue your passions, and stop living for the approval of man else's standards? How can Yoga help us discard feelings of guilt and self-doubt? How can Yoga help you to be pro-active about life, instead of waiting to solve problems when they surface? Let's look at these questions, and see how Yoga can help anything form self-confidence.

How could Yoga absolutely help you to start living your own life and stop living for the approval of man else's standards? Have you ever wondered what your higher purpose was in life?

Everyone asks themselves questions like these, but you will not find your true purpose in life, if you are living the dreams of man else. What are your own personal passions? You have to form your own true purpose in life with perfect honesty.

You must analyze what you do well, what your passions are, what your responsibilities are, and then make a decision about your purpose in life, by setting small goals, in order to attain your extreme goal.

Along the way, you must make sure that your purpose is ethical and noble. Within the Yoga Sutras, the first two limbs covered are Yama and Niyama, which are ethical codes of conduct.

The vigor you put into your passion should all the time be sure and ethical, but be ready for obstacles, as life is full of them. Obstacles build our character and make the journey interesting, but challenging.

How can Yoga help us discard feelings of guilt and self-doubt? Many of us live with guilty feelings for past deeds, but we cannot live in the past. If you have wronged someone, make it up to them or to their family.

If you have stolen something, return it, in a way that does not make the situation worse. Do the best you can do and stop wasting your life worrying about the past. A life part all the time contains value, but you must have comprehension to create a sure situation from it.

Guilt is a burden, which we create, but we are not required to carry it nearby for life. You must forgive yourself and try your best to forgive others. When you forgive yourself, and others, you gain leisure (Samadhi). leisure from hate will become devotion (Bhakti) to higher causes and to God.

When you give to anyone, or to any charity, channel the sure vigor of giving into self-forgiveness. When you give to others, you will feel gratification and worthy of forgiveness. If you cannot afford to give, you should help others straight through Karma Yoga (selfless service). It is still giving to visit a man who needs companionship or to help your neighbor.

How can Yoga help you to be pro-active about life, instead of waiting to solve problems when they surface? anything who practices Yoga, over time, becomes pro-active about mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health. It cannot be helped because the convention of Yoga causes the practitioner to gravitate toward sure action.

There will all the time be situations in life which we have to react to. If you see a house on fire, you will have some kind of reaction. This is the nature of life: the unexpected happens. As humans, we cannot foresee every situation in life, but we can convention Yoga to advance our awareness.

Being proactive opens a new form of awareness to the world nearby you.
Proactive behavior will help you avoid many bad situations straight through enhanced intuition and tasteless sense.
