Teaching #63: Starting Where You Are
Remember, you begin your journey from where you are and just as you are.

Chapter 17 Pg. 200-201
For your reflection: You have been practicing for many weeks at this point. Reflect on the changes in your life and be grateful. Ask yourself if your ego is starting to take credit for all your hard work and progress.
