“It's a mistake to expect benefits from any pose. Expectations make you restless because if you fail to get what you expect, you feel miserable. Yoga practice is an act of adoration to the Lord. You do it because it has to be done.

“The world is full of men and women who work too much, sleep too little, hardly ever exercise, eat poorly, and are always struggling or failing to find adequate time with their families.

Back on planet Earth, studies reveal that extending unemployment benefits results in more unemployment.” PeopleEarthJobsNextNamesResultsCompassionStudyFailingEconomicPlanetsBenefitsAssumingObviousSpendingEndlessTheologyFactorsPocketsMultipleUnemploymentExtensionsPlanet EarthExtendingDeterrentUnemployment Benefits Author:David Limbaugh
