It must be of great pride to yoga lovers that the United Nations General Assembly (on the 11th of December 2014) declared 21st June as the International Yoga Day. This year being the second edition, the festivity on this special day has reached new heights with practitioners from all around the world participating in classes, and creating. various world record attempts. There were celebrations in NewYork, Paris, London, Delhi, Honkong, Beijing and other top cities in the world
Here is a nice collection of photos from around the world on International day of Yoga
I know for a fact that there were at least 30,000 people gathered at the World Trade Centre, Dubai to celebrate this occasion. There was even a Guinness world record attempt.

But today was a very important day for me as an
Entrepreneur. It was supposed to be my first milestone. My yoga travel company
YogaTrippie was supposed to launch its beta site today. But evidently it’s not happened. I’ve always
read that the startup journey is not an easy one and many times there will be
factors beyond your control. Let me tell you… reading about it and experiencing
it are totally different things!

Delayed Delayed Delayed
Among the long list of things that are delayed are some crucial
ones including my web design, web development, content aggregation, scripts, and
the company license and immigration card. 80% of the business deadlines that I
had placed for myself have now been compromised and it’s not a good feeling.
Every entrepreneur goes through these trying times apparently, and the only way
forward is to keep going.
Missed deadlines can be costly sometimes but a missed
deadline is surely an opportunity. It is a chance to revisit the drawing board
and see where you went wrong and what processes you need to change. It’s an
opportunity to re-calibrate your working style and rewire your mind to ensure
you don’t miss deadlines again. Of course
there will be external factors, but the harsh truth is that no one cares in
business as to why you are missing a deadline.
The flip-side is that now I am aware of the factors with
which the deadlines were missed and that makes me wiser.. Some deadlines feel
so out of reach and figuring out how to achieve them seems impossible and I
know that the only way to make the impossible into possible is to take it one step at a
time. Everything is achieved exactly the same way: one step at a time. Including
a successful yoga practice!!!
On that note I wish you a Happy international Yoga Day, may
you take your practice and life one step at a time, may you be completely
living in the moment and may meet all your deadlines! J
Love and Light.
