Sounds like a dream right?

You are not defined by outward “success.”

You are not defined by outward “success.”

In mid-April 2025, I left my career as a lawyer. Since then, I teach yoga almost every day and my life is now so much lighter.

I spent many years, at great expense, on my journey to become a lawyer—3 years in undergrad and 3 years in law school. I worked for several years as a lawyer. Learning the ropes, getting skilled, and becoming successful in the field of employment litigation. From the outside looking in, everything was perfect; I had succeeded. Yet, on the inside, I was miserable.

Maybe you’ve felt this way before, or maybe you even feel like this right now. Maybe my story and insight can help you—if something costs your wellbeing and your joy, the cost is too high. You need not be defined by outward “success” in order to have a successful and fulfilling life.

Your are enough.

Your are enough.

Your worth is not in what you do, what you own, or even in what you make. It’s in how you feel. You could grind away to “succeed” financially and materially, but if you are unable to feel joy or contentment in your day, then no amount of money, amount of possessions, or rank in your career could ever feel like “enough.”

Yoga philosophies such as the concept of Santosha remind us to find contentment in who we are no matter where we are in life because who you are in each moment is who you are meant to be. You do enough, you have enough, and you are enough. Stop stressing and suffering from chasing the concept of “more” and enjoy who you are now.
