One of my ex-father-in-law's favorite sayings came from Benjamin Disraeli: "Tis Easier to Be Critical than Correct."His clever son made the saying even better in a sign he made for his father:
"Tis Easier to be Critical than Corect."
It really is easier to criticize others - and ourselves - than to present alternatives or work on improving our own yoga.
It's hard to put our ideas forward - it's easier to criticize ideas that others have.
It's hard to work on having firm abs - it's easier to criticize our less-than-perfect bellies.
As we look forward to spring, let's tend to our own garden - not critically, but with loving attention and appreciation for our mistakes as well as our triumphs.
